New Delhi: Polling for
the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) and Jawaharlal Nehru
University Students' Union (JNUSU) began here Friday.
In JNU, around 30 candidates are in fray for the posts of
president, vice-president, general secretary and joint secretary.
In Delhi University, 38 candidates are contesting for the same
posts.
The JNUSU elections are being held for the second time this year
after the interim union was dissolved July 30 when the new session
began.
The National Students' Union of India (NSUI), Student Federation
of India (SFI), All India Students' Association (AISA) and Akhil
Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) have fielded their candidates.
The Left-affiliated AISA had bagged all the four posts in the last
elections.
In Delhi University, the real battle is between the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh-backed ABVP and the Congress-backed NSUI.
AISA is another significant contender.
In 2011, ABVP had won three of the four DUSU posts, while NSUI
could only manage to win the post of president.
The results of both elections will be declared Saturday.
