Election controversies

This year the DUSU elections witnessed multiple controversies from Savarkar bust being installed in the college campus to EVM malfunction. NSUI had alleged that EVM malfunctioning was against the Congress-backed student's wing, claiming that when a ballot is pressed for NSUI candidate, EVM did not light up to indicate registration of vote. However, an election committee member said the votes were being cast but there was some problem with the light that glows. It was also found that the candidates violated the model code of conduct by putting up huge hoardings, defacing college property and using printed material for seeking votes.
