Delhi: As candidates for the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections paraded through convoys of luxury cars—including SUVs, Range Rovers, and other high-end vehicles—the campuses of Delhi University are a flurry of electioneering. Despite the ₹5,000 campaign expenditure cap per candidate set by the Lyngdoh Committee rules, boxes stuffed with printed posters could be seen in their vehicles. Students park their cars here in a long queue on the road, according to a traffic police officer, which leads to congestion and traffic jams.
The officer told PTI, "They take out cars convoy in the rally which creates a traffic jam in the area and it becomes difficult to manage," and added that he challans over 50 such vehicles per day. Campus abuzz as election date nears With traditional drums, leaflets being distributed, and catchphrases like "Vande Mataram" and "Jitenge Jitenge 4321" resonating throughout the campuses, the campaign atmosphere was lively in the meantime. A stroll around the DU North campus revealed hoardings, banners, and posters in the colours blue, yellow, orange, and white positioned at every possible location.
Similar scenes could be seen on the university's South campus, where flyers and campaign posters were stuck to food stands, benches by the side of the road, bushes, and even plants.
