ABVP intensifies its outreach across Delhi University campuses ahead of the DUSU polls, focusing on direct engagement with students
New Delhi, September 15, 2026: The election campaign for the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections has gained momentum, with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) stepping up its outreach across various colleges of Delhi University.
ABVP has fielded Yash Dabas for the post of president, Ishu Maurya for vice-president, Riya Chhabri for secretary and Lakshyaraj Singh for joint secretary. The organisation is campaigning for its panel with a 7-3-3-3 voting appeal.
ABVP Focuses on Direct Student Outreach
As the DUSU elections approach, ABVP candidates and activists are engaging with students across different colleges. The organisation says its campaign is focused on understanding students’ concerns, expectations and issues related to campus life.
ABVP has also highlighted its ground-level campaign, claiming that its workers are reaching out directly to students rather than relying solely on social media campaigns.
ABVP Targets NSUI Over Alleged Misinformation
The political contest between ABVP and the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) has also intensified ahead of the elections.
ABVP has accused NSUI of attempting to influence students through social media campaigns and what it described as misleading information instead of focusing on student-related issues.
ABVP also raised questions over alleged differences within NSUI and claimed that internal disagreements could affect the organisation’s ability to effectively represent students.
These allegations have been made by ABVP and have not been independently established.
ABVP Delhi Secretary Sarthak Sharma’s Statement
ABVP Delhi State Secretary Sarthak Sharma criticised NSUI’s campaign and said that an organisation that is unable to effectively manage its internal coordination and workers would find it difficult to represent the concerns and aspirations of thousands of Delhi University students.
He alleged that NSUI was focusing more on allegations and social media campaigns instead of addressing the issues faced by students.
Sharma further said that ABVP was continuously reaching out to students and raising issues concerning campus life. He claimed that the organisation was witnessing growing support among students and appealed to voters to support the ABVP panel through the 7-3-3-3 voting sequence.
DUSU Election Battle Intensifies
With the DUSU elections approaching, the contest between major student organisations is expected to become more intense. ABVP and NSUI are likely to step up their campaigns in the coming days as they seek to win the support of Delhi University students.
The final outcome will depend on student voting and the response to the respective campaigns of the competing organisations.
Disclaimer: Claims and allegations regarding NSUI in this report are attributed to ABVP. They should not be treated as independently verified facts unless supported by additional evidence.
