New
Delhi, Sept 12: Voting to elect the new office bearers of Delhi University
Students Union (DUSU) is underway at the varsity's campus here. The polling,
which began at 0830 hrs here this morning for the regular day classes students,
will conclude at 1230 hrs. The evening classes students will get a chance to
vote from 1500 hrs to 1900 hrs. The main contest is between RSS-affiliated
student wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and Congress students
organisation National Students Union of India (NSUI). The RSS student
organisation is eyeing to win all the four posts while NSUI is hopeful that it
would bring back its lost glory in the varsity. Altogether ten candidates are
in the fray for the post of union president. ABVP has fielded Rajat Choudhary
while Congress led wing, Rocky Tuseed, student of the varsity's Department of
Buddhist Studies. Student Federation of India (SFI) has fielded Rafat Alam and
Parul Chauhan from All India Students Association (AISA). For the posts of
vice-president and general secretary, there are five candidates each in the
fray and four for the post of joint-secretary. ABVP's Parth Rana is contesting
for the vice-president's post while NSUI has fielded Kunal Sehrawat. Other
candidates fielded by ABVP and NSUI for the post of general secretary and joint
secretary are Mahamedhaa Nagar, Uma Shankar, Meenakshi Meena and Avinash Yadav
respectively. The voting is being conducted with EVMs. The results are likely
to be announced tomorrow. In 2016 DUSU polls, ABVP had won three seats, while
NSUI only one post. UNI
