New Delhi: RSS’ student outfit ABVP continued its dominance in the DUSU polls, bagging three seats and describing the thumping victory as the “triumph of nationalism”, while Congress’ NSUI made a comeback, winning the post of Joint Secretary in the results announced on Saturday.
ABVP’s Amit Tanwar was elected the new president of Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU), defeating NSUI candidate Nikhil Yadav by a margin of 4,680 votes. Priyanka and Ankit Singh of ABVP have been elected as vice president and secretary respectively.
NSUI candidate Mohit Garid won the contest for the Joint Secretary’s post, preventing an ABVP hat-trick. The RSS’ student body had bagged all the four seats in the DUSU polls last year as well as in 2014. AAP’s Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Samiti, which was defeated last year on its debut, did not contest the election this year.
“A significant number of 17,712 voters opted for NOTA, introduced in the DUSU polls this year,” said CEC for the polls DS Rawat. Union minister Arun Jaitley, who was elected DUSU president in 1974, congratulated ABVP on its victory. (PTI)
