DUSU elections begins on dull note
Voting to decide the fate of 29 candidates for the four Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) posts began on a dull note this morning.Then there are the college representatives. Over 60 colleges of the university participate in the DUSU elections.
The polling for the colleges where classes are held in the mornings started at 8.30 a.m. and will end at 12.30 p.m. For evening colleges, the timings will be 3-7 p.m.
This year’s DUSU elections are being held amid controversy over disqualification of several frontline student leaders’ candidature for flouting the recommendations of a panel headed by former chief election commissioner J.M. Lyngdoh.
The Delhi High Court had on Tuesday dismissed the petition of five candidates, who had challenged their disqualification.
The high court had dismissed the plea of Deepak Negi of the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), Rohit Chahal of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) for the president’s post; Umesh Tomar (NSUI) for vice-president; Lalit Kumar (ABVP) for secretary and Ashok Khare (ABVP) for joint secretary.
