University students in Rajasthan met with former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday, voicing their concerns over the delay in student union elections across the state.
Gehlot, who extended his support, highlighted that such elections were previously suspended during the BJP's 2003-08 term but were reinstated in 2010 by a Congress-led government.
The elections were again halted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a resolution to restart in 2022. However, as Gehlot pointed out, under the current BJP rule post-December 2023, they're yet to be resumed.
