ABVP rout continues: Dalit-tribal-minority alliance wins Hyderabad varsity polls

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]RSS-backed students’ organisation recently lost students’ union elections in JNU, DU, Rajasthan University, Panjab University and Gauhati University

In a seeming endorsement of the Opposition’s claim that the BJP is gradually losing its charm among the youth, the ruling party’s student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has lost the University of Hyderabad (UoH) students’ union polls.

This is the sixth consecutive defeat for the ABVP in the past month. Earlier this month, the right-wing body had lost students’ union polls in the Jawahar Lal Nehru University, Delhi University, Panjab University, Rajasthan University and Gauhati University.

The UoH students’ union polls were held on Friday morning and the results were declared late in the night the same day.

What is significant about the results is that the UoH was where research scholar Rohith Vemula had committed suicide last year alleging harassment by the University administration at the behest of ABVP activists. Amid allegations that Vemula faced persecution on account of being a Dalit, the Justice Roopanwal Commission had been set up to determine the circumstances that led him to end his life. However, the Commission’s final report attributed Vemula’s suicide to personal reasons and declared that he wasn’t a Dalit – claims that led triggered a resurgence of protests against the University administration, ABVP and BJP by students at the varsity.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_html]JTNDYmxvY2txdW90ZSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10d2VldCUyMiUyMGRhdGEtbGFuZyUzRCUyMmVuJTIyJTNFJTNDcCUyMGxhbmclM0QlMjJlbiUyMiUyMGRpciUzRCUyMmx0ciUyMiUzRSUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRmhhc2h0YWclMkZBQlZQJTNGc3JjJTNEaGFzaCUyMiUzRSUyM0FCVlAlM0MlMkZhJTNFJTIwdHJvdW5jZWQlMjBpbiUyMFJvaGl0aCUyMFZlbXVsYSUyNiUyMzM5JTNCcyUyMEh5ZGVyYWJhZCUyMENlbnRyYWwlMjBVbml2ZXJzaXR5JTIwZWxlY3Rpb25zLiUzQyUyRnAlM0UlMjZtZGFzaCUzQiUyMEdhcnYlMjBTZSUyMFNlY3VsYXIlMjAlMjglNDBHYXJ2U2VTZWN1bGFyJTI5JTIwJTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGR2FydlNlU2VjdWxhciUyRnN0YXR1cyUyRjkxMTQwODQ1NzExNDMxMjcwNCUyMiUzRVNlcHRlbWJlciUyMDIzJTJDJTIwMjAxNyUzQyUyRmElM0UlM0MlMkZibG9ja3F1b3RlJTNFJTBBJTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwYXN5bmMlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjIlMkYlMkZwbGF0Zm9ybS50d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRndpZGdldHMuanMlMjIlMjBjaGFyc2V0JTNEJTIydXRmLTglMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0UlMEElMjA=[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]It was largely in this backdrop that the Students Federation of India (SFI), Ambedkar Students Association (ASA) and other panels representing Dalits, minorities and tribals formed the ‘Alliance for Social Justice’ (ASJ) to take on the ABVP in the Hyderabad University Students Union polls.
