Delhi University Student Council Elections 2025: ABVP Wins Overwhelmingly, Gandhi's Messages Lose Impact
In a decisive victory, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has won three out of four central posts in the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections. The RSS-affiliated students' organisation's sweep signals strong campus penetration for organisations linked to the ruling national coalition.
The election result depicts a recalibration of student political sentiment in Delhi's colleges. The result reversed the partial gains the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) of the Congress party made in the previous polls. The NSUI managed to keep the vice president's post only.
The ABVP's victory reflects its organisational reach, campaign on campus issues, and popularity over insinuation. In his manifesto, the ABVP presidential candidate, Aryan Mann, promised subsidized metro passes, free Wi-Fi across campus, accessibility audits for persons with disabilities, better sports facilities, and more. Deepika Jha, DUSU Joint Secretary, vowed to prioritize women's safety and student welfare.
The ABVP's extensive organisational network and campus presence enabled more effective voter contact and logistical coordination. This was evident in the extensive campaigning conducted by the ABVP, which seemed to resonate with pragmatic student interests.
The student-political competitive balance has been reset following NSUI's partial comeback in the 2024 election polls, when it won two of the four central posts. However, the NSUI will reassess strategies to reclaim lost ground in subsequent elections. The organisation has stated that it will focus on building pressure and consolidating itself before the next election.
The DUSU election result also depicts national political alignments, as the ABVP is frequently seen as an extension of Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) mobilisation on campuses. The NSUI's focus in the election was on free Wi-Fi services, safety, hostel welfare, and special leave facilities for girls, among others.
The result of the DUSU polls has intensified the ABVP-NSUI rivalry on campus. The winning ABVP president and his allies are expected to produce promised outcomes in the shortest time possible. The ABVP's victory in the DUSU elections has strengthened the organisation, which can replenish allied cadres at the municipal and state levels.
