DUSU polls: Clean sweep by ABVP, second time in a row
DUSU polls: ABVP takes initial lead

 Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Saturday swept the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) polls by winning all the four seats.

ABVP's Satinder Awana, an MA Buddhist Studies student, won the election for the president post. Sunny Dedha, pursuing Law, won the vice-president's post. Anjali Rana has been elected as the secretary and Chhattar Pal Yadav elected as the joint-secretary respectively.

The Student Union elections were contested between the ABVP, NSUI (National Students' Union of India) and Aam Aadmi Party's student wing Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Samiti.

Over 43% students exercised their franchise on Friday in the keenly contested Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) polls which were dominated this year by issues such as rollback of CBCS, security, transport and accommodation problems faced by varsity students.

Students council elections also took place in 42 colleges where Congress-affiliated National Students Union of India (NSUI) won the five-member panels in 18 colleges while the BJP's youth wing Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parsihad (ABVP) emerged victorious at 13 colleges. Both the parties won different seats in remaining colleges.

Last year, ABVP had swept the DUSU polls trouncing NSUI to bag all the four positions.
