Around Thousands Vote in Delhi University, JNU Students Elections
Around Thousands Vote in Delhi University, JNU Students Elections
New Delhi: The results for the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections will be declared on Saturday.
Thousands of students voted yesterday to elect the new student union in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Delhi University (DU).
The DUSU battle is mainly between the National Students Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress, and the BJP-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
For DUSU, seven candidates were in the fray for the post of president, 32 for vice president, 41 for secretary and 34 for joint secretary.
The main issues in Delhi University were hostel accommodation and safety of northeast students.
JNU used ballot papers with the option of None Of The Above (NOTA) for the first time.
Last year, the All India Students Association (AISA), affiliated to the Communist Party of India-Marxist Leninist, bagged all four posts.
Other Left groups in the fray are the Students Federation of India (SFI) and the newly formed Left Progressive Front (LPF), an alliance between the Democratic Students Federation (DSF) - breakaway from SFI - and the All India Students Federation (AISF).
The results for JNU are expected to be declared on Monday.
