In a dramatic turn of events, all four ABVP candidates surge ahead, shaking the foundation of JNU’s political landscape.
The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) election has witnessed an unprecedented surge for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-backed Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). As the ballot boxes are opened and votes tallied, ABVP’s Umesh Chandra emerges as the undisputed front-runner.
Even after counting 1,421 votes, ABVP has maintained a lead on all four seats. Umesh Chandra Azmeera received 626 votes for the President’s position. Following him, Dhananjay (Left) secured 471 votes. In the Jawaharlal Nehru University Student Union elections held on Friday after four years, there was a 73% voter turnout, the highest in twelve years. Voting took place after a four-year gap, and more than 7,700 registered voters cast their votes through secret balloting.
ABVP’s presidential candidate Umesh Chandra has got 812 out of 1,995 votes. The Left’s poll has secured 737.
Left’s Dhananjay Trails Behind
Despite putting up a spirited fight, the Left alliance finds itself grappling with an unexpected setback as their candidate, Dhananjay, trails behind ABVP’s formidable lead. The Left’s hopes for retaining control over the student union are dashed as ABVP’s surge gains momentum, leaving them struggling to catch up in the race for student leadership.
