NEW DELHI – The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the RSS-BJP, has secured a decisive victory in the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections, winning three out of the four top posts. The results were announced after a day of vote counting, solidifying ABVP’s strong presence in one of India’s most politically influential universities.
The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), the student arm of the Congress, managed to secure the Vice President’s post, preventing a complete whitewash. The elections saw a voter turnout of 39.45% and were conducted using Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
