Independent candidate Deepanshu Shokeen wins vice-president seat
Independent candidate Deepanshu Shokeen won the vice-president post with a total of 30,615 votes. He contested as an independent candidate after not receiving an NSUI ticket.
"It is a victory of harmony, patriotism, and the collective strength of the Sangh. Students from institutions ranging from PU to DU have worked to ensure our victory. NSUI has been completely wiped out from the campus; NSUI lost 4-0. Our primary concern will be ensuring that a safety audit is conducted for every PG and hostel. We all witnessed the accident that occurred in Satya Niketan; we do not want such an incident to happen to anyone in the future, and that will be our first priority—conducting safety audits for every college, hostel, and PG. The Vidyarthi Parishad won 3-1 last time and has won 3-1 this time as well; next time, we will win 4-0," Yash Dabas said to ANI.
