DUSU elections at Delhi University were conducted after a gap of three years for the four posts of Central Panel President, Vice President, Secretary and Joint Secretary. Students from 52 colleges and departments affiliated with Delhi University cast their votes on Friday, September 22.

Around 500 security personnel, including police and paramilitary forces, were deployed in the North Campus to provide security, according to various media reports. It was the first time that current undergraduate current students at the university voted in the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) polls.

24 candidates were in the fray for four posts — president, vice president, secretary, and joint secretary. Ballots were counted on September 23.

The past few weeks saw student outfits going to voters with several promises, including hostels for all, better infrastructure, affordable transport, and better placement services. However, allegations of violence and ruckus by outsiders on the campus overshadowed the poll promises.

At a press conference on Thursday, the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) accused the Congress-backed National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) of “using lathi-wielding outsiders for the campaign, as it had no work to show for itself”.

In response, NSUI’s national president, Kanhaiya Kumar, said, “The ABVP is responsible for the violence but is blaming the NSUI for it. Students of DU know what is happening.”
