BJP alleges widespread vote rigging in Delhi University student polls

Yadav released a video statement on social media, claiming the detained student admitted that several NSUI activists were utilizing fraudulent identification to influence the outcome. He targeted Rahul Gandhi directly, suggesting that the Congress leader’s frequent warnings about electoral malpractice reflect the internal culture of his own party and its student wing. The BJP representative demanded a formal apology, characterizing the alleged rigging as an affront to the youth participating in the democratic exercise.

As the allegations surfaced, the official vote count continued under tight security. Early trends indicate a competitive landscape for the four central posts. ABVP candidate Yash Dabas currently leads the presidential race with 1,305 votes, holding a narrow margin over NSUI’s Vijay Shankar Meena. Meanwhile, independent candidates have gained unexpected traction, leading for the positions of Vice President and Joint Secretary. DUSU Chief Returning Officer Rajesh Singh confirmed that 158 control units were processed across eight counting tables, with results expected by early afternoon. Despite the controversy, ABVP representatives expressed confidence in a decisive victory, citing higher voter turnout compared to the previous year.
