Activists of Congress-backed NSUI will land up at doorsteps seeking votes for their "senior" leaders in the Delhi Assembly polls but the BJP may have to look for other options for youth power as its student wing ABVP says it will not involve in the campaigning process.With three weeks to go for the elections, the NSUI has charted out an elaborate plan for campaigning which includes door-to-door campaigning, specially targeting first time voters and students.The NSUI, which claims having a membership of 40,000 students in Delhi, is expected to field around 20,000 of its cadre in "grassroot campaigning"."We will work with a specific goal this time. Leaders and cadre will address our target group of students and youths.Our block and college units have been instructed to work in support of Congress candidates in their respective areas," NSUI spokesperson Anand Pandey told PTI.However, ABVP says it will not involve in the campaigning process in an organisational level."We will not involve into the elections on the organisational level as our mandate is to work for the welfare of the students," ABVP Delhi unit president Raj Kumar Sharma said.However, he said, there are no restrictions over the members to work for BJP candidates. "It will be their individual decision," he added.
