	Questions are being raised on CPM’s treatment of its best student leaders. In fact, according to former JNUSU president (2001) Albeena Shakil, “Except one former president, nobody is with CPM. One lot joined the Congres. From 2000 onwards, all the anti-Congres JNUSU presidents from SFI have been expelled.” She argues that CPM is “close” to Congres and that puts off majority of the voters.

		+	New Delhi : In a decisive victory, the Left Unity panel swept all four central posts in the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) elections for 2025-26 with Aditi Mishra of AISA becoming the university’s first woman president after Aishe Ghosh in 2019. The results mark a strong comeback for the Left, which had lost one post to ABVP in the delayed 2024-25 polls this April.
		+
		+	Mishra, a PhD student from Centre for Comparative Politics and Political Theory, secured 1,937 votes, defeating ABVP’s Vikas Patel, who polled 1,488 votes. The margin of 449 votes is up from 272 recorded in the April poll. The presidential candidate of Progressive Students’ Association (PSA), Shinde Vijayalaxmi Vyankat Rao, who gained traction among voters with her fiery presidential speech targeting both left and right politics on the campus, took away 1,276 votes while NSUI trailed with 419 votes.
		+
		+	In the vice-presidential race, Left’s K Gopika Babu from SFI registered the highest tally across all posts, winning by a massive margin of 1,314, up from 34 in the April poll. She secured 3,101 votes while ABVP’s Tanya Kumari got 1,787 and NSUI’s Shaikh Shahnawaz Alam 370.
		+
		+	For the post of general secretary, Left’s Sunil Yadav from DSF won by 104 votes, a little dip from April’s 114, polling 2,005 votes against ABVP’s Rajeshwar Kant Dubey’s 1,901. The joint secretary’s post was also clinched by Left, with Danish Ali securing 2,083 votes and defeating ABVP’s Anuj Damra (1,797) by a margin of 286 votes. In the previous poll, ABVP had bagged this post with a margin of 45.
		+
		+	This year’s election saw 20 candidates in the fray for the four central panel posts, including six woman candidates, reflecting an increase in women’s participation in the campus politics.
		+	During the early rounds of counting, when about 4,300 votes were tallied, ABVP was leading on two seats — general secretary and joint secretary. However, once votes from School of Social Sciences and School of Languages were opened, Left secured the lead on all posts. Both these centres have historically voted overwhelmingly for Left candidates.
		+
		+	The day-long counting unfolded amid high-decibel sloganeering, drum beats and bursts of celebration as each round was declared. Late at night, tensions briefly flared when a group of students carrying Palestine flags clashed with ABVP supporters. Students alleged that ABVP members tore a flag while ABVP denied the charge, claiming the group had raised anti-govt slogans.
		+
		+	Observers say the results reaffirm the united Left’s dominance on the campus. The outcome also signals that while new entrants like PSA have injected energy into the campus discourse, the traditional Left remains the primary force shaping student politics at JNU, they add.

Chakraborty, before hurrying off for the School of Social Sciences GB meeting, agreed that it was disappointing to have just three women contesting the central posts, but reasoned, like Anjali, that “the major issues are actually covered at the school level”.

		+	Priyanka Bharti was the first woman to leave her village, Fatuha in Bihar, for higher education. In 2016, she got admission for the bachelor’s course in German in Jawaharlal Nehru University. Coming from a poor family with an unemployed father, Bharti gives tuitions in German and earns Rs 500 per hour. She uses some of the money to meet her expenses and sends home the rest. These dire circumstances have not affected her morale, however, and she is contesting for the president’s post in the JNU students’ union election as a candidate of the Chhatra Rashtriya Janata Dal.
		+
		+	The JNUSU poll is a story about individuals who are rising above their economic and social classes. Jitendra Suna, Bharti’s rival from the Birsa Ambedkar Phule Students Association (BAPSA), too comes from a backward district in Odisha. Before coming to JNU, he eked out a living as a farm labour and then worked as a helper in a gas station.
		+
		+	The presence of the candidates like Bharti and Suna underline the difference between the student politics in JNU and Delhi University. Former DU student, and now the NSUI presidential candidate, Prashant Kumar agreed that JNU empowered students not only “politically”, but also “culturally and socially”. The philosophy student said, “Money certainly doesn’t matter in JNU. What is important here is how I can represent the under-represented. In DU contesting as an independent candidate is very difficult.”
		+
		+	Farooque Alam, a differently-abled student who fought an election two years ago without any party backing, confirmed this. “I fought as an independent candidate,” he said. “But I got wide support. JNU students judge a candidate only on the basis of debate, discussion and the ability to take up issues.”
		+
		+	Even members of ABVP, a dominant student organisation in DU, admitted that candidate selection worked on a different principal in JNU. Durgesh, an ABVP member in JNU, said, “One needs to be deeply involved in activism and student rights. Money is not even a consideration.”
		+
		+	This relative level-playing field gives everyone a chance. Bharti’s colleague contesting for the vice-president’s post is visually impaired. Rishiraj Yadav accepted that he couldn’t have possibly contested a poll in DU, “but JNU is different, it helps you work across boundaries”.
		+
		+	Yadav, a Rajasthan native, is doing his PhD research in history on love marriages in modern India. As someone who married a woman from a higher caste than his, Yadav has been challenging the caste hierarchy. Similarly, Saket Mohan, the Left Unity candidate for the vice-presidential post, is a Dalit from Nagpur.
		+
		+	S N Balaji, former JNUSU president and AISA member, explained that DU had a different way of electing student representatives. “In JNU, social inclusion is the only criterion,” he asserted.
