Student parties declare DUSU poll candidates

The student outfits on Friday declared their candidates for the four crucial posts in the keenly-contested Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections, which are scheduled to be held on 12 September.

While ABVP is trying to encash on the scrapping of Four Year Undergraduate programme (FYUP), which was on their agenda for the last years DUSU polls, NSUI is raising issues of right to accommodation and alleged racial discrimination against the students from North-East. BJP’s Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has declared Mohit Nagar and Parvesh Malik of Buddhist studies as their Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate.

Those nominated by ABVP for the post of Secretary and Joint Secretary include Kanika Shekhawat of ARSD college and Ashutosh Mathur of Zakir Hussain College. The Left-leaning All India Students Association (AISA) has nominated Madhurima Kundu of Hindu college, Aman Nawaz of Dayal Singh college, Aman Gautam of Sri Venketeshwara college and Vikramaditya of Buddhist studies, for the four posts.

The Students’ Federation of India (SFI), Arunachal Students’ Federation (ASF) and All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) have come together this time to form an alliance called Left Students’ Front (LSF). LSF has nominated Vikram Singh, Prashant Mukherjee, Shrey and Deepak Jha for the four posts. A new student organisation called Chanakya Parishad has also entered the contest this year.
