Yash Dabas vs Vijay Meena vs Ananya Raturi: Meet the faces of DUSU presidency race
The DUSU polls are very important to student politics. The elections were held for four key posts - president, vice-president, secretary and joint secretary.
The Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections are currently underway, with three prominent candidates vying for the position of president. The candidates are Yash Dabas, a member of the ABVP, Vijay Shankar Meena, a member of the NSUI, and Ananya Raturi, representing the AISA-SFI alliance. The DUSU polls are one of the most closely watched student politics contests, with four key posts up for grabs - president, vice-president, secretary, and joint secretary.
Yash Dabas, the ABVP candidate for DUSU president, is an international-level tennis player who has participated in competitions in Spain, Australia, and Serbia. He is currently studying in the Department of Buddhist Studies at DU. Despite questions raised about his academic record, the ABVP has dismissed them as a smear campaign.
Vijay Shankar Meena, the NSUI candidate, is aspiring to unseat the ABVP from the president's post. He is currently pursuing a master's degree in Buddhist Studies at DU and has actively advocated for student rights, scholarships, and hostel shortages. Ananya Raturi, the AISA-SFI alliance candidate, has been actively involved in student movements concerning issues such as sexual harassment and accountability on campus.
She is also a prominent figure on social media and has shared glimpses from her last day of campaigning for the DUSU elections.
