Thirdly, the victory of Siddharth Aggarwal Sidhu is also a big blow for NSUI. Siddharth Aggarwal Sidhu was close to NSUI. But NSUI could not handle him and he joined Aryan Students Organization. The victory of Siddharth Aggarwal Sidhu will also raise questions on the image of NSUI.

ABVP’s defeat in the student union elections in DAV PG College, Dehradun after 14 years is an important event. This defeat happened due to many reasons.
First of all, DAV College is a big and reputed college, where students come from different ideologies. ABVP’s authoritarian and fundamentalist image did not attract many students.
Second, NSUI rebel Siddharth Agarwal Sidhu made his mark as a young and energetic candidate. He raised the problems of DAV College students and made concrete promises to solve them.
Thirdly, the student movement against ABVP was also an important factor. Over the years, there have been several student movements against the ABVP, which have damaged the reputation of the ABVP among students.
NSUI could not handle Sidhu, who was close to NSUI. This means that there is a great dissatisfaction in NSUI also. NSUI needs to resolve its internal disputes and formulate concrete programs to address the problems of the students.
Many MLA ministers were also working behind the scenes in favor of ABVP in DAV elections. From this it becomes clear that ABVP is very close to political parties. ABVP needs to shed its political affiliations and emerge as an independent voice for students.
Overall, ABVP’s defeat in DAV College is a significant development. This defeat is a challenge to the growing popularity of ABVP. ABVP needs to improve its image and prepare concrete programs to solve the problems of students.
