So it turns out that it perhaps wasn't the Modi wave that won Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) candidate Kanika Shekhawat the  Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections. Instead, it could have been Nauheed Cyrusi who could take some of the credit for the landslide victory.

In what is a rather embarrassing moment for the BJP-aligned students group ABVP, campaign posters that made their way across the DU campus colleges carried pictures of VJ Nauheed Cyrusi and not Shekhawat.

Shekhawat, however, has denied any involvement with the release of these posters and has blamed the rival Congress allied group National Student Union of India (NSUI) with this mischief. "It has come to my notice that there are campaign posters that show Nauheed Cyrusi's images under my name. I'm confident that this is the doing of NSUI in an attempt to get my nomination cancelled," she tweeted.

She went on to inform that a complaint has been registered by her in the matter.

Interestingly, though, many students claimed to have felt “cheated” after the ABVP swept the DU students' union elections after a gap of 18 years. The ABVP won posts of president, vice president, secretary and joint secretary by comfortable margins, bettering last year's performance when it had lost one of the seats to the NSUI.

Apart from Shekhawat who was elected secretary, Ashutosh Mathur was elected joint secretary, while Mohit Nagar was elected president, and Pravesh Malik won the elections for the vice president's post.
