Dehradun: The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has once again demonstrated its strong hold and widespread popularity in the Uttarakhand Student Union elections. According to the results so far, the ABVP has won in most of the state’s colleges. Following the nomination process, ABVP candidates were elected unopposed to the post of president in 27 colleges, a clear indication of the organization’s grassroots strength.
The victories of Rishabh Malhotra at DAV PG College, Dehradun, and Mahipal Bisht at HNB Garhwal University have hoisted the saffron flag in the state’s largest educational institutions. The ABVP’s victory in prominent colleges like Shudhowala Doiwala, Rishikesh, Karanprayag, Srinagar, Khatima, and Kotdwar also proves that students have reposed faith in the organization’s work style and issues.
The ABVP believes that this victory is not merely an electoral victory, but a triumph of students’ struggles and real issues. The organization has long been active in promoting transparent examinations, a better educational environment, and protecting student interests. This is why students prioritized the panel focused on national and student interests.
Impact of the Dhami Government’s Policies
Analysts believe that the policies of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami’s government also played a significant role in this landslide victory. In recent years, the Dhami government has implemented strict anti-cheating laws to ensure transparency in competitive examinations. Furthermore, by providing youth with more than 25,000 government jobs, it has created a positive environment in the employment sector.
Furthermore, while the opposition attempted to incite youth and corner the government over complaints of cheating in the UKSSSC examination, the results of the college elections proved that the student community stood firmly behind the government and the ABVP. This result is being considered a strong response to attempts to spread anarchy in the state.
Future Direction
Political analysts believe that this victory of the ABVP will determine the future direction of student politics in Uttarakhand. This not only signals the organization’s strength, but could also impact mainstream politics in the state in the future.
Overall, the ABVP’s historic victory in the student union elections and the public support for the Dhami government’s policies are proof that Uttarakhand’s youth stand with nationalist ideology and a transparent governance system.
