CJP co-convener Saurav Das backed independent candidate Deepanshu Shokeen, who won the vice-president’s post in the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) election, calling it “sign of the times”.
The organisation secured three of the four central panel positions, while Shokeen won the vice-president’s post as an independent. “So this is the real Gen-Z story from the DUSU election. The sign of the times. An independent candidate with years of hard work has scripted history by winning the highest votes in DUSU ever,” Das wrote on X. “I have been working on the ground with students for the past four years. Even though my party withdrew its support at the last minute, my confidence came from the hard work I had put in. A party can only give you a ticket, but students elect their representative. “I had very little time to prepare. Within just three days, I had to launch my own manifesto and campaign,” he added.
So, I decided to contest independently,” said Shokeen. Describing the result as a victory for students, harmony, the Sangh and patriots, Dabas said the outcome reflected the organisation’s performance in the election. The ABVP swept the DUSU election, with its candidate Yash Dabas winning the president’s post as vote counting concluded on Saturday.
