Sweeping Victory for the Left in JNU Student Elections

The left had earlier blamed the university for helping ABVP.

The Left won the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) elections as results were declared at 10 pm on Saturday.

The election was watched closely after this year’s sedition row that caught the nation’s attention.

The All India Students Association (AISA) and the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) had joined hands against the Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP).

The central figure of the February uproar, current JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar and his party, All India Students Federation (AISF), did not contest.

Seen as the launch pad for potential politicians, the elections were a huge affair in the university.
