DUSU election result: NSUI of Congress wins big, RSS-backed ABVP gets 2 seats

 Nagpur Today 09-13 14:49


New Delhi: Making a stunning comeback in the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) election, the Congress-backed National Students Union of India (NSUI) today won the President and the Vice-President posts, while the RSS-backed Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP) – which had dominated the union for the last few years – had to contend with the Secretary and Joint Secretary positions.

The main contestants for the DUSU President were the ABVP’s Rajat Choudhary, AISA’s Parul Chauha, independent candidates Raja Choudury and Alka, besides Rocky Tusheed of the NSUI, who has emerged as the winner of the crucial post.

Last year, the RSS-backed ABVP bagged three posts, while the Congress’s NSUI made a comeback, winning the post of the Joint Secretary.

The outgoing DUSU President is ABVP’s Amit Tanwar, with the post under the RSS student wing’s hold since 2014 when Mohit Nagar was elected. He was succeeded by Satender Awana, whose tenure was marked by controversy after he was accused of publicly threatening and beating up faculty members.

A bipolar affair historically, the election this year had seen the rise of another student group, the radical left AISA, which has found many supporters among students after the brawl at Ramjas College in February and turned the usually bilateral contest between the ABVP and NSUI into a multi-cornered fight.

The counting of votes for the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections began today at a community hall near Kingsway Camp in New Delhi amid tight security.

There were 126 ballot boxes for the DUSU panel and eight were taken for counting in each round. An initial indication about a candidate leading for a position can be ascertained only after at least 50 per cent of the votes is counted, said an observer. The process is being video-recorded.

A total of 43 per cent turnout was recorded in the DUSU elections held on Tuesday when students from 51 colleges cast their ballot to choose the four central panel posts of President, Vice-President, Joint Secretary and Secretary in the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU).

Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery

Android Authority Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery 19 hours ago HMD Global  is slowly building up its portfolio of stock-Android-running smartphones. In addition to the trio of mid-rangers (Nokia 3, 5, and 6)  it launched at MWC , the company bolstered its high-end with the  Nokia 8 , and now the other side of spectrum is getting some attention. Just  leaked by Evan Blass , the Nokia 2 looks… well, like a generic cheap phone. If you have a visceral hate of bezels, you’ll probably want to close this post and move on, but design is hardly the point here. Blass didn’t share any details about the Nokia 2, but we can make some educated guesses based on some other clues we’ve got about the phone. First, you might have noticed that the phones in the leaked renders show October 5 as the date. Dates in renders are often set to match the launch time, but this could be an old render and there’s still time for things to change. Read more Han...

HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE(PART 1)

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone "Point me!" This article is about the novel. You may be looking for the object, the film, its soundtrack, the video game or the video game soundtrack. This is a story full of surprises and jokes; comparisons with Dahl are, this time, justified. The Sunday Times Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first novel in the Harry Potter series. The book was first published on 26 June, 1997[1] by Bloomsbury in London, and was later made into a film of the same name. Both the book and motion picture were released in the United States under the name Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, because the publishers were concerned that most American readers would not be familiar enough with the term "Philosopher's Stone". However this discussion lead to criticism by the British public who felt as if it shouldn't be changed due to the fact it was an English book. Dedication Cover of the US ed...
