In another win for the outfit, Deepika Jha triumphed over Lavkush Bhadana to claim the joint secretary’s position on the central panel.
The Students' Federation of India (SFI) and All India Students' Association (AISA) combined drew a blank.
In a post on X, NSUI national president Varun Choudhary said the party “fought well in this odd election -- not just against the ABVP, but against the combined force of the DU admin, Delhi govt, central govt, RSS-BJP & Delhi Police”.
He continued, “Yet thousands of DU students stood firmly with us and our candidates fought well. Best wishes to Rahul Jhansla, newly elected DUSU vice president from NSUI panel, and to all other office bearers who won. Win or loss, NSUI will always fight for common students, their issues & to save DU. We will only grow stronger.”
In the 2024 DUSU elections, the NSUI made a comeback after seven years by winning the president’s post along with the joint secretary’s seat. The ABVP, meanwhile, held on to the secretary’s position and also claimed the vice president’s post, ensuring its continued representation in the panel.
