  "account": "Abhijeet Dipke, the convenor of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has accused money power influencing election results, citing the recent Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) polls. The ABVP, an RSS-affiliate, won three of the four central panel posts in the polls, following protests led by CJP. Dipke alleged that campaigners for the ABVP were seen traveling in luxury cars such as Rolls Royce, Audi, and BMW. He also echoed concerns raised by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi regarding the BJP promoting individuals with ideological affiliations. Dipke further claimed that Vice Chancellor Kumud Sharma of Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Vishwavidyalaya in Amravati, a former RSS ideologue, has registered FIRs against over 50 students since her appointment. He accused the system of making universities a branch of the RSS and expressed loss of faith among students in the education system, citing the demanding resignation of MPSC Chairman Vivek Bhimanwar over corruption allegations. Dipke also claimed that the death of an IIT Bombay student, who was allegedly caught cheating during an examination, cannot be justified and called for increased mental health support for students.",
