No 'Goonj', Only 'Dhamaka': BJP's Dig At Rahul Gandhi After ABVP Sweeps Delhi University Polls

The Delhi University student union elections saw a clear victory for the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) under President Yash Dabas. The ABVP secured positions such as President, Vice President, and Secretary, while the National Students Union of India (NSUI) experienced a significant loss, failing to secure any of the four central panel posts.

Independent candidate Deepanshu Shokeen won the Vice President position, garnering over 13,700 more votes than the NSUI's Vijai Shankar Meena. The ABVP's success is seen as a setback for Congress and its student wing, the NSUI, particularly after Rahul Gandhi's youth outreach campaign 'Chhatro ki goonj' on examination irregularities failed to make an impact.

Meena, the NSUI presidential candidate, alleged incidents of bogus voting and forced voting at colleges like Swami Shraddhanand College, Ramjas College, and Shivaji College, threatening to take the matter to court.
