BJP President Amit Shah waves towards his party supporters in Kolkata on Saturday (Press Trust of India)
BJP President Amit Shah today congratulated Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad for sweeping the Delhi University Students' Union elections by winning all the four posts after a gap of 18 years.
"I congratulate ABVP for winning all 4 panels in DUSU elections. The students & Karyakartas of DU deserve the credit," tweeted Amit Shah, who is in Madhya Pradesh.
BJP Secretary Shrikant Sharma termed the ABVP's stunning victory a result of the "positive approach" of the party. He said this indicates that the youth of the country are in favour of BJP policies.
He added that the youth were the future of the country and the dream of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshta Bharat' would be achieved through them.
The ABVP, the students' wing of the BJP, won all posts of president, vice president, secretary and joint secretary, bettering last year's performance when it had lost one of the seats to the National Students Union of India (NSUI).
Mohit Nagar was elected the president of DUSU while Pravesh Malik won the elections for vice president's post. Kanika Shekhawat and Ashutosh Mathur have been elected as the secretary and joint secretary respectively.
