The Delhi University Students' Union elections are set for September 18, with key issues like fee hikes, hostel shortages, and campus safety taking center stage. Candidates are also grappling with a new Rs 1 lakh bond mandate.
Notable student groups like the RSS-backed ABVP, Congress-backed NSUI, and a Left-alliance are campaigning vigorously. They are focusing on student welfare, including calls for concessional metro passes and improved campus security.
Each group aims to represent students' interests: the ABVP through its 'My DU, My Manifesto' campaign, the NSUI's advocacies for transport concessions, and the Left's strong opposition to current policies. This year's election is anticipated to be a tightly fought contest among these major contenders.
