Agartala: The Students
Federation of India (SFI) and the Tribal Students Union (TSU),
both students' associations of the ruling Communist Party of
India-Marxist (CPI-M), have swept the students' council polls in
15 colleges in Tripura, an official said Saturday.
The SFI and the TSU candidates defeated their rivals from the
National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the
main opposition Congress, in 98 percent of the 527 seats in
elections to 15 students' councils Friday. The results were
declared late Friday night.
"Of the total of 527 seats in the 15 councils, the SFI won 517
seats, including all the posts of vice-presidents and general
secretaries, while the NSUI bagged 10 seats," an official of the
higher education department told reporters.
According to the official, the NSUI improved its tally as compared
to last year.
At least 20 students were injured in clashes between various
groups following the announcement of students' council polls last
month.
