The Congress-linked NSUI or National Students Union of India today celebrated what it described as its "major comeback" after winning the top two posts of the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU), leaving two for its rival Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), which is linked to the BJP.
The NSUI says it has actually won three of the four posts, and that it will contest the results in the Delhi High Court. The ABVP held three posts in the outgoing panel.
ABVP's Amit Tanwar will be replaced as Delhi University president by NSUI's Rocky Tuseer, who, along with other NSUI leaders, met with Congress president Sonia Gandhi this evening.
Top Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi held up the result as a sign that younger people, especially students, are once again warming up to the party. "Congratulations @nsui on a stellar performance and Pres win in DUSU! Thank students of DU for reposing faith in Congress ideology," tweeted Rahul Gandhi, who is in the US.
