Student group ABVP sweeps Delhi University elections with three major posts
The All India Students' Council has dominated elections to the Delhi University Students' Union, securing the president's post alongside two other major positions. The Congress-backed NSUI failed to win any seats in the keenly contested poll.

Results announced Monday showed the ABVP claiming decisive victories in elections for the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU), capturing the posts of president, general secretary and joint secretary. An independent candidate, Deepanshu, won the vice-president position, marking the only non-ABVP victory among the four main elected roles.
The outcome represents a significant setback for the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress party, which failed to secure representation in any of the four principal positions contested in the election. The loss marks a sharp reversal for the organization, which has historically maintained a strong presence within Delhi University's student politics.
The ABVP's strong performance underscores the student organization's growing influence in campus electoral politics across India's premier universities. The results are also likely to have broader implications for student activism and representation within the Delhi University system in the coming academic year.
