00:00We are shifting our focus to the national capital, an election that we've seen, a student council election that we've
00:05seen, which was a nail-biting contest.
00:08Now, BJP's student wing, ABVP, has swept the Delhi University elections, winning three of the four central posts.
00:15But the ABVP's victory has triggered a full-blown political showdown, with the Congress-backed NSUI failing to secure a
00:24single position on the central panel.
00:27Now, the BJP has hailed ABVP's victory, saying the verdict has exposed Congress's jhoot ki goonj and shows where the
00:34faith of the youth lies.
00:36In an exclusive conversation with India today, Health Minister JP Nadda said Rahul Gandhi's politics of lies had been busted,
00:45adding the DUSU verdict reflects that the youth is inspired by the vision of Viksid Bharat.
00:51Hitting right back, the Congress has claimed that there were persistent attempts to rig the DUSU elections and influence the
00:58counting process, stressing the charges of malpractice must be examined.
01:17I am also joined by Secretary Winner, Riya Chavari.
01:22What do you have to say? You are the only woman in the panel. So, what main issues you will
01:27be focusing in the panel, because you are the only woman candidate in the panel?
01:31As a girl candidate, my main motive is women's safety.
01:44So, these were the winning candidates from the AVVP. I am also joined by Lakshara, the Joint Secretary. We have
01:50also seen a tough fight by the independent candidate on the Joint Secretary position. So, what do you have to
01:55say?
01:55Yes, it was a tough fight. I had to say, I had to say, I had to say, I have
02:10to say, I have to say, I have to say, I have to say.
02:13That's right.
02:45I want to show you the best.
02:46U.A. and especially the university who are studying, they don't give their voices, their voices, their thoughts, their thoughts.
02:56In the first time, a candidate won the first time.
03:00The vote of my last year is 3610.
03:02The vote of me is 3,610.
03:06We haven't seen anyone in any post.
03:09You have made two records.
03:11First, let me tell you about the vote.
03:13I'm covering all the rules.
03:16I was watching social media.
03:18Where are the vote?
03:19The vote is not just the same.
03:22The start of my last year was because of those people.
03:27I don't get the vote, so I don't wear the vote.
03:31The people who are struggling with this,
03:35So it is quite a contest that we witnessed in the Delhi University elections, the student elections that is.
03:54Now, denied an NSUI ticket, Deepanshu Shokin went solo and scripted a stunning victory in the Delhi University Student Union
04:05politics.
04:05Now, the bus conductor's son emerged as the most powerful rebel and lone independent winner securing a record mandate.
04:16In fact, in an exclusive interview with my colleague Anjali Pandey, Shokin speaks on the NSUI's fault lines.
04:22And why is it that the NSUI's strategy went drastically wrong?
04:28Take a look at this conversation.
04:35We are now being joined by the new DUSU Vice President, Deepanshu Shokin, the independent candidate who has scripted history
04:41this time in many ways.
04:43Deepanshu, thank you for joining us on the broadcast.
04:45First of all, congratulations to you.
04:48You have written a history script.
04:51You have received a record mandate in many ways.
04:55The margin is so big.
04:56The first name was the first one, which was set up, which was set up in the morning.
05:01It was you.
05:03Deepanshu, it was the one day that you promised a ticket, you didn't give a ticket to NSUI.
05:10You were very emotional.
05:13You were very emotional.
05:14That day, you made your decision that you will win independently.
05:16And it was yesterday, when there was one candidate who was the first victory, and the most victory victory was
05:24the most victory.
05:25How was your journey?
05:28It was good.
05:52Thank you very much.
06:27mention now.
06:29There were a lot of things that came in front of me and you can see that it's not just
06:33that I would be independently contested, there were two candidates that were independently contested.
06:39I would like to say that the internal politics was not that there could be management or the deserving candidates,
07:07but I would like to say that Rahul Gandhi Ji talks about our JNZs and the staffs.
07:15So that's a very good concept that students connect with us. But wherever, internal politics that was in NSUI,
07:23that was due to the leadership of NSUI, that was due to the loss of NSUI.
07:30Yes.
07:31So Dipancho, what are you saying that you didn't offer a ticket to the President's post?
07:36You didn't offer any ticket to the NSUI?
07:40My withdrawal is the last one. You can see there.
07:44But what happened after that you had to withdraw? Because you were the strongest candidate from NSUI.
07:51Your campaign was so strong.
07:53Does NSUI have not seen this?
07:55Because NSUI's saying that we were giving the President's post to Dipancho.
08:00Dipancho didn't mean it.
08:02First of all, the tickets were confirmed. I was the Vice President contested.
08:06But the internal politics, who's the phone, what happened after that,
08:11I said to withdraw. But my goal was not only to fight against them.
08:16My goal was to represent them to the students.
08:19Then the result is something.
08:22I decided that I will contest.
08:24I have contested. Students have supported me.
08:26Do you think this was the decision of the ticket distribution?
08:33This is the reason that NSUI won't win one seat this time?
08:39The mandate is the answer.
08:42You will get the answer.
08:43How did everything happen?
08:45That's the fault of NSUI.
08:48But sometimes I want to say that
08:50every student who are deserving students,
08:53the people who want to get the chance.
08:57And if they get the chance,
09:00they will prove it.
09:01They will prove it.
09:03They will all benefit.
09:05When you have won the election,
09:07do you have a scope to go back to NSUI?
09:11Or go back to NSUI?
09:12Or go back to NSUI?
09:15Or go back to NSUI?
09:15Or go back to NSUI?
09:16Or go back to any other political party?
09:18Or go back to NSUI?
09:20It is the negotiation of the students.
09:23That's what it is.
09:24So if it is a decision for students?
09:26The decision to go on to students.
09:26What we want to do and what not.
09:28We will do the job now,
09:31That's what we will do in our training.
09:33What we do in the situation,
09:34and we will get the issue with students.
09:39What are the conditions in the visit?
09:43We will get the opportunity
09:43to give those students.
09:45We will get the opportunity
09:47What are the conditions to students?
09:48we will do our work and the students who want to raise the work and the issues.
10:18I don't think it's just the purpose of leading the world.
10:20My goal was to represent the students who trust me,
10:23I will represent them.
10:25The tag of the student representative,
10:27I can justify it.
10:28And it doesn't matter.
10:30Your voice matters,
10:32which way you stand with them.
10:36I was with the students,
10:37when they showed me so much support,
10:39which mandate came in front of me,
10:4130,000 plus votes,
10:42which has a history of others.
10:45Absolutely.
10:46It shows that students were with me.
10:49And when students are with you,
10:50it doesn't matter.
10:51Because it's such a platform,
10:53where everyone keeps looking at you.
10:55If you raise the issues of students,
10:57you talk about the issues of students,
10:59you stand for the students,
11:01they will always stay with you.
11:04And that matters more.
11:04We also saw your videos,
11:07which were also viral,
11:08in which you didn't wear footwear,
11:11you were wearing your pants,
11:12you were doing your campaign.
11:13This is when we were watching
11:14this tragedy.
11:15We started seeing it after the tragedy.
11:17You can also tell us something about that.
14:41Thank you so much for joining us and all the very best to you for your future.
