Congress-Backed NSUI Bags President's Post, ABVP Gets Vice-President

Rounak Khatri, the presidential candidate of Congress-based National Students' Union of India (NSUI), has won the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections. The vice-president's post has gone to Bhanu Pratap Singh, the candidate of RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). The DUSU results, originally scheduled to be announced on September 28, a day after the elections, were delayed due to a Delhi High Court order. The court had stalled the declaration of results until the defacement caused during the election campaign was cleaned.

According to news agency PTI, Khatri defeated ABVP's Rishabh Chaudhary by 1,300 votes. The joint secretary post has also gone to NSUI with Lokesh Choudhary winning the contest.
