NEW DELHI: One saw more green than saffron as Congress-backed National Student’s Union of India (NSUI) made a clean sweep of all the four posts in the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections, the results of which were announced on Saturday. A definite set back to saffron dominance in DUSU polls over past years. The right-wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) had bagged all the four DUSU posts about twice since direct elections began in DU in the early 1970s. NSUI has done it for the second time this year after 2000. With assembly elections round the corner, the victory has boosted the morale of the Congress. More so because Congress backed groups wrested the post of the DU Teachers Association (DUTA) president as well. The new DUSU president is Rohit Choudhary, a Law centre-I student of the Law faculty. Choudhary was the DUSU joint secretary in 2001. He defeated his nearest ABVP rival, Shital Sharda, by a record margin of 12,951 votes. ‘‘Our immediate priorities will be introduction of health insurance for students at an annual premium of Rs 1 and opening more evening colleges,’’ said Choudhary. Narinder Tokas won the vice-presidential seat by defeating his nearest INSO rival by more than 5,000 votes. But the star of the NSUI sweep clearly was Ragini Nayak, the new DUSU secretary, who is a History (Hons) student of Kirori Mal college. She trounced her ABVP rival by more than 15,600 votes. Her emphasis would be to open women development cells in co-ed colleges. Pankaj Kochhar of NSUI bagged the post of joint secretary from his nearest INSO rival by over 6,000 votes. But why did ABVP do so badly? ‘‘We do not have the kind of involvement of national leaders that the NSUI had, nor did we have funds,’’ said ABVP’s presidential candidate Shital Sharda. NSUI, she alleged, has not fought these as student elections, rather the Congress seems to have fought these as assembly elections.
