DUSU polls: Dipke alleges money power, says campaigners travel in luxury cars
Abhijeet Dipke of the Cockroach Janta Party has criticized the ABVP's recent Delhi University Students' Union election victory, alleging the use of excessive money power and luxury vehicles. He further accused the RSS of ideologically influencing university appointments and targeting dissenting students with FIRs.
Why it matters
The allegations highlight ongoing tensions regarding political influence in Indian student politics and the perceived politicization of academic institutions.
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) convenor Abhijeet Dipke has alleged that money power drives elections, pointing to the ABVP’s recent Delhi University Students’ Union poll victory and claiming campaigners travel in luxury cars.
The ABVP, an affiliate of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on Saturday won three of the four central panel posts of DUSU in the polls that unfolded after recent CJP-led Gen Z protests.
The Congress-backed National Students' Union of India (NSUI) failed to secure any of the four central panel posts, with the ABVP winning the president, secretary, and joint secretary positions.
