The Bharatiya Janata Party celebrated the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad's victory in the Delhi University Students' Union elections, with Union leaders congratulating the winning candidates. ABVP secured the presidential post in the university polls by two thousand votes, building on previous campus victories such as Chandigarh, while planning upcoming contests in institutions like the University of Hyderabad. The results were analysed alongside challenges faced by the National Students' Union of India, where internal rebellion significantly impacted key posts. NSUI cadres who were denied official tickets contested as independent candidates for the vice president and joint secretary positions, dividing the opposition votes. The discussion also highlighted how student politics and youth voting patterns have shaped recent university elections across northern India despite controversies surrounding paper leaks and campus protests.

00:00More and more responses that have been coming in from the BJP that is certainly celebrating.
00:04Nitin Nabeen has put out this latest tweet that reads and I quote,
00:07Congratulations to all my young friends at Delhi University on ABBP's historic victory in the DUSU elections.
00:13This victory reflects the youth's continued faith in positive and constructive student politics,
00:18rooted in the spirit of Nation First and their strong resolve to contribute to the vision of Aviksid Bharat.
00:25My best wishes to the victorious candidates and everyone who's worked relentlessly and tirelessly to make this victory possible.
00:34DUSU elections is the hashtag.
00:37So that's the response that has come in from BJP National President Nitin Nabeen.
00:40After we just heard that response from Kiran Rajiju who also went out to congratulate the winners.
00:47Let me take this back to my colleague Anmol.
00:49Like we were exactly talking Anmol, no response from the Congress read about BJP going all out to make this
00:57point very, very clear and decisive.
01:00That Gen Z has chosen the right-wing ideology.
01:04Gen Z has chosen the ABVP.
01:11So we have seen that many BJP leaders are currently tweeting and congratulating Dakil Bharati Vidyarthi Parisha.
01:17They're clearly saying that students have chose the Nation First and the constructive politics ideology means the right-wing ideology.
01:25And we have also seen that how Rahul Gandhi has law on Chhatro Ki Goonj.
01:28But on the other hand, PM Modi has also interacted with the students because this year the student elections around
01:34India are very interesting because we have seen that Neet Paper leak, then Kokoro Janata Party protests, then Satya Niketan
01:40mishap.
01:41And after that, the Delhi University election where many of the students we have interacted with were saying that this
01:47will be hard for the ABVP, will be hard for the Akhil Bharati Vidyarthi Parisha to win.
01:51But still ABVP managed by 2,000 votes, they have won the president position.
01:57But last year their margin was around 16,000.
01:59Their margin has decreased, but still students have chose Akhil Bharati Vidyarthi Parisha.
02:02But not only here in the Delhi University, in Punjab, in Chandigarh also we have seen that last month ABVP
02:08has won the president position in Chandigarh,
02:11which is home to the thousands of students from the very North Indian states.
02:15So we are seeing that ABVP is trying to bring or trying to project the narrative that students across India
02:22are with them.
02:23And they have clearly, while we have talked with the various cadre of Akhil Bharati Vidyarthi Parisha, they have also
02:28said that they are not stopping here.
02:29They will be also, will be fighting for the various other positions in South Indian universities like Hyderabad University Students
02:36Union also.
02:37And they will be projecting their narrative that Gen Z and youth are with the ABVP, right-wing and the
02:43nation-first ideology, as said by the BJP and the ABVP.
02:46That is pertinent, Anmol, because right now we are talking about the Delhi University elections, but what really is the
02:52story in the other cities is also important.
02:55Given the fact that the protest, the student protest that had happened in Jantanmantar, where as much as we had
03:00seen students gathered in large numbers, even from other cities,
03:04but primarily Delhi and the age group of 12 to 19 and above is what we are talking about here.
03:12Gen Z has certainly given its verdict in the form of ABVP winning the Delhi University elections.
03:18But apart from the rigging allegations, any particular incidents that are being mentioned and quoted by the naysayers, by the
03:26adversaries who say that this has not been a fair election?
03:35Swisha, I will tell you that why NSOE lost this year, because this year we have seen that two of
03:40their candidates which want tickets for the vice president position and for the joint secretary positions have rebelled.
03:46They have filed as an independent candidate and we have seen on the VP position, Dipanshu Shokin has won over
03:5213,700 votes.
03:54He is from the NSOE. He was an NSOE cadder.
03:57But when later he was, he wasn't given a vice president ticket, other guy who comes from a political dynast
04:04family, three to four generation Congress family, he was given ticket.
04:08Then he filed as an independent candidate, which resulted into the VP seat, which should be going to the NSOE
04:15that went to independent candidate.
04:17And on the other hand, we have also seen that Vishesh Yadav, who was also an NSOE cadder, has filed
04:23as an independent candidate and came as a second on the joint secretary position that came as dent for the
04:30National Students Union of India,
04:32which is kind of a faction riddle. So Kanhiyya Kumar and as well as, you know, Jakkar and various other
04:38senior leadership of the NSOE has to think that how they will manage next year,
04:42because we have also seen in last year also that the reason behind NSOE route are the internal factionalism,
04:50where we have seen that many of the factions have filed their candidates which led to NSOE's loss in the
04:59elections.
05:00with the NSOE.
