· India · Indian Express, The Tribune
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has secured the Panjab University Campus Students’ Council presidency for a second consecutive term. Candidate Ankit Bidhan won the election with 3,149 votes, defeating his closest rival, Aadil Brar of the Association of Students for Alternative Politics, by a margin of 512 votes. A last-minute alliance with the Students’ Organisation of India provided the critical support needed for the victory. This result marks the first time in the university's history that the ABVP has held the top post for two years in a row. Other major student groups, including the National Students Union of India, failed to secure any council positions.
Why it matters
The consecutive win consolidates the ABVP's influence within the Panjab University campus, signaling a shift in student political dynamics in Chandigarh.
