NSUI vs ABVP: Congress makes its DUSU poll pitch
On September 12, 2026, the Congress claimed victory for the National Students Union of India (NSUI) in the recent student union elections held at the Pauri campus of Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal Central University. Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal stated on X that the party's student wing has decisively defeated the All India Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
Venugopal emphasized that the people of Uttarakhand are fed up with the BJP's anti-people policies, which have resulted in "unprecedented loot and destruction" in the state. He highlighted the NSUI's victory as a resounding defeat for the BJP and a message from India's youth, who were eager to punish the BJP for the violent incidents during the Jantar Mantar protests.
Venugopal also predicted that the BJP will face a similar fate in the upcoming Delhi University Students Union elections, where the NSUI panel is expected to win with landslide margins.
The Congress leader further stated that by 2027, the people will drive the BJP away from power in Uttarakhand and usher in a Congress regime that genuinely cares for the youth, marginalized communities, and underprivileged individuals.
