Intense Battles at JNUSU Elections: Left Alliance vs. ABVP

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union elections, scheduled for November 4, see the Left alliance and ABVP as key contenders. Both groups are campaigning extensively to secure top posts. The elections are a significant ideological battleground, reflecting intense political activity on campus.

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) is set to hold its elections on November 4. The contest will feature the RSS-backed ABVP and the Left alliance as the main contenders. The ABVP has fielded candidates including Vikas Patel and Tanya Kumari for key positions, while the Left alliance has chosen Aditi Mishra as its presidential candidate.

Campaigns are in full swing with student groups engaging in door-to-door outreaches, open discussions, and poster campaigns across the university. The rival factions are focusing on major campus issues, such as hostel shortages, library enhancements, and research funding.

The JNUSU elections are known for their fierce ideological battles. After the Left's dominant performance in the last elections, the ABVP aims to challenge its hold by winning additional posts. With 9,043 eligible voters participating this year, the election's outcome will significantly impact campus politics.
