ABVP Sweeps DUSU Elections 2026, Bags 3 Posts; 'Jooth Ki Goonj' Demolished, Says BJP
ABVP won three central seats as voter turnout reached 40.46%, while the vice-presidency went to Independent Deepanshu Shokeen.
- On Saturday, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad secured three of the four central posts in the 2026 Delhi University Students Union elections, while Independent candidate Deepanshu Shokeen claimed the vice-president position.
- The campaign focused heavily on student housing and infrastructure, gaining urgency after a private accommodation building collapsed in Satya Niketan on September 6, killing seven people including five Delhi University students.
- ABVP candidate Yash Dabas won the president's seat, while Riya Chhawdi secured secretary and Lakshya Raj Singh Rathor became joint secretary, effectively eliminating the National Students' Union of India from the central panel.
- Union Minister Kiren Rijiju hailed the result as "very important and very symbolic," declaring that students had spoken "loud and clear" as Congress failed to win a single seat in the union election.
- Dabas pledged to prioritize safety audits for every PG and hostel following the Satya Niketan collapse, though candidates must comply with a Delhi High Court ban on victory processions issued on September 18.
