In September, Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Samiti (CYSS), the student wing of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), decided to refrain from contesting the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) polls citing the assembly elections. It has been engaged in generating support for the party at the ground level for the past five months.
“The organization will not contest DUSU elections this year, rather it will focus on the Delhi Assembly elections which are due next year”, Kamal Tiwari, CYSS state President, told The Statesman.

He also claimed the EVMs were tampered with, adding that it resulted in the defeat of Congress-affiliated NSUI on three of the four DUSU posts.
In the morning colleges, polling began at 8.30 am and will end at 1 pm. In the evening colleges, polling will be held between 3.00 pm and 7.30 pm.
The scrutiny of nomination papers will be held the same day, after which the list of duly nominated candidates will be published, said the statement.
