नई दिल्ली। दिल्ली विधानसभा चुनाव में कांग्रेस की छात्र इकाई एनएसयूआई के कार्यकर्ता अपने वरिष्ठ नेताओं के लिए घर-घर जाकर वोट मांगेंगे, लेकिन भाजपा को युवा शक्ति के लिए किसी अन्य विकल्प की तलाश करनी होगी, क्योंकि इसकी छात्र इकाई एबीवीपी ने चुनाव प्रचार में भाग लेने से मना कर दिया है।
चुनाव से तीन सप्ताह पहले एनएसयूआई ने प्रचार के लिए विस्तृत योजना तैयार की है जिसमें घर-घर जाकर प्रचार करना भी शामिल है। उनका लक्ष्य पहली बार मतदान करने वाले लोगों और छात्रों को रिझाना है। एनएसयूआई का दावा है कि दिल्ली में 40 हजार छात्र उनके सदस्य हैं और प्रचार के लिए 20 हजार छात्रों को लगाए जाने की उम्मीद है।
एनएसयूआई के प्रवक्ता आनंद पांडेय ने कहा कि इस बार हम एक विशेष लक्ष्य के तहत काम करेंगे। नेता और कार्यकर्ता छात्रों एवं युवाओं को संबोधित करेंगे। हमारे प्रखंड एवं कालेज इकाइयों को उनके क्षेत्रों में कांग्रेस उम्मीदवारों के समर्थन में काम करने का निर्देश दिया गया है।
एबीवीपी ने हालांकि कहा कि वह संगठन स्तर पर चुनाव प्रचार अभियान में हिस्सा नहीं लेगी। एबीवीपी की दिल्ली इकाई के अध्यक्ष राज कुमार शर्मा ने कहा कि चुनाव में हम संगठन स्तर पर शामिल नहीं होंगे क्योंकि हमारा उद्देश्य छात्रों के कल्याण के लिए काम करना है। उन्होंने हालांकि यह भी कहा कि छात्रों को भाजपा उम्मीदवारों के लिए काम करने पर मनाही नहीं होगी। शर्मा ने कहा कि यह उनका व्यक्तिगत निर्णय होगा।

JNUSU polls - NSUI

24 Oct 2008
JNUSU polls - NSUI may not field candidatesThe National Students’ Union of India may not field its candidates in the coming Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union elections this year. The university unit has split into two factions and both are simultaneously campaigning for the same posts. The annoyed senior office-bearers might dissolve the unit in toto on Thursday, say sources. The All-India NSUI president Nadeem Javed and vice-president Rohit Chaudhary had approved Nagender Singh Shekhawat’s name for president’s post and Shahnawaz for the post of joint secretary. But Faiz Ashrafi and Vidisha Shukla, who were also eyeing the two respective posts, turned rebel and started campaigning simultaneously. This has irked the senior office-bearers. “In view of these developments, senior NSUI leaders will dissolve the unit. There are even chances that they bar the unit from contesting election this year,” an insider said. NSUI spokesperson Anand Pandey said that the matter will be solved after reaching Delhi as senior office-bearers are in Uttarakhand for cadre elections. The sources also allege that the JNU unit chief Simi Joseph should have been assertive and should have informed higher ups rather than just submitting to their orders. Its to be noted that the NSUI is facing such problems of factionalism for some years now. “Such problems have been cropping up at the time of elections since last three years. Two years back, I was asked to let Anand Pandey contest the JNUSU president’s post and I agreed to the high command’s orders,” Saghar, an NSUI activist said.

The most sought after Presidential debate at the Jawaharlal Nehru University elections had to be abruptly halted after the students attacked a speaker for using unsavory language against Lord Ram on Wednesday night.
Earlier this year, the minority community party, the Bahujan Samaj Front had distributed pamphlets demeaning the Hindu deity, whereby hurting Hindu sentiments.
Following individual presidential candidate speeches, Amit Kumar from Bharatiya Janta Party supported Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad, questioned Raghunath Prasad Saket (BSF) if the party regretted the act. An unapologetic Saket took responsibility for the act and adding fuel to the fire, made further derogatory remarks. This was enough to provoke the crowd, which was unquestionably upset.
The crowd went violent hurling shoes, stones among other things. The angry ABVP activists attacked the election committee, beat the Bahujan Samaj Front candidates, pulled down tents, cut electricity and broke furniture. Police force had to be called in to control the mob. “The reaction was a reflection of ABVP’s extremists ideology. It was clearly a suggestion of shrinking democratic space in most campuses. There were 15 outsiders, most came drunk, and some even carried hockey sticks and bats. The reaction was planned and in no way spontaneous,” said Serohi, a supporter from Democratic Students Union.
Condemning the act, Anand Pandey, National Students Union of India supporter said, “It was a completely undemocratic act and against the very ethos of JNU elections. It was apparently a war between extremist beliefs – Casteism versus Religiosity. While Saket should have abstained from upsetting religious sentiments of the crowds, ABVP should have controlled their tempers.” Desite all chaos and near-riot situation, polling will take place on Thursday.
