The Narendra Modi wave was witnessed in the Delhi University Student Union polls as the Bharatiya Janata Party affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarti Parishad (ABVP) won all four seats on Saturday.
Mohit Nagar won the president post, Pravesh Malik - vice president, Ameet Sidhu - secretary and Ashutosh Mathur - joint secretary.
Over one lakh students were eligible to cast vote in the DUSU polls for the four crucial posts -- President, Vice President, Secretary and Joint Secretary.
Seven candidates each for the posts of President and Joint Secretary; six for the post of Vice President and eight nominees for the post of Secretary are in the poll fray.
Interestingly, Students' Federation of India (SFI), Arunachal Students' Federation (ASF) and All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) have come together this time to form an alliance called Left Students' Front (LSF).
Another new entry in the poll fray is Chanakya Parishad.
DUSU is the representative body of the students from most colleges and faculties of the varsity.
The polls have been keenly contested over decades and have also been a stepping stone to party politics for some prominent leaders.
Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, senior Congress leader Ajay Maken, Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay, BJP leader Vijay Goel are among the many national and state-level politicians who began their political career at DUSU.
Last year, the DUSU polls were swept by ABVP. While ABVP candidate Raju Rawat was elected as the joint secretary, Aman Awana and Utkarsh Chaudhary were elected as president and vice-president respectively.
The Congress-backed National Students' Union of India (NSUI) had managed to win only one seat with Karishma Thakur being elected as the secretary. (IBN-Live)
