‘I was very impressed by the speech of Rahila. She appears to be a promising candidate,’ said Sukaniya, a student of MA (International Relations) at JNU.
Another voter Sonal Barnwan, who is currently studying German language in JNU, said: ‘At the time of presidential debate, the whole campus gathers to attend it. That has been used as a deciding parametre and this time Rahila stole the show.’
With various student association members hooting for their members, the atmosphere in JNU was in accordance with the polling day. ‘The voter turnout was 50 percent this year. The turnout has decreased by one percent in comparison to last year,’ said Dileep Maurya, chairperson of the JNU Election Committee.
Despite several controversies, All India Students’ Association (AISA) is still the preferred party amongst students. ‘AISA has a strong foothold in the campus. Its voters have decreased this time but it will still give a tough competition,’ said Awmar Ghani, an M.Phil student of Persian studies in JNU.
‘I sympathise with AISA. Students have to understand that issues can’t be solved immediately. They need time to be resolved. Other parties have used this against AISA. They are just drifting students in another direction,’ said a research scholar at JNU.
Besides AISA, LPF is another party which has gained a huge number of voters.’
The people who are frustrated with AISA are voting for LPF. The latter is getting full advantage of that,’ said Poonam, a student of Life Science at JNU.
The results of JNUSU polls are expected to be announced on Monday.
