DU Elections: Show Over Substance, Students Cry Foul
Delhi University students are expressing growing disillusionment with the ongoing DUSU elections. They allege that the campaigns prioritize political posturing over addressing pressing student concerns.
The focus, students claim, is overwhelmingly on creating a spectacle, with little genuine engagement on critical issues. These include campus safety, the acute shortage of affordable housing, and limited career opportunities for graduates.
Many students feel the elections are being used as a stepping stone for aspiring politicians, rather than a platform for genuine representation. They are demanding candidates who will actively address their daily struggles.
This year’s DUSU elections highlight a worrying trend: the disconnect between student needs and the political ambitions of those vying for office. This raises serious questions about the effectiveness of student union representation in advocating for the welfare of the student body. The need for candidates who prioritize student welfare over political maneuvering is paramount for the future of DU.
