‘Threats will not be tolerated’

BJP says that such rude and objectionable behavior in public and political life is not acceptable under any circumstances. Such threats against the culture and traditions of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand will not be tolerated.

In the Uttarakhand Students’ Union elections, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has once again demonstrated its strong hold and wide popularity. According to the results so far, ABVP has won in most colleges of the state. ABVP candidates were elected unopposed to the post of president in 27 colleges only after the nomination process, which is a clear indication of the ground power of the organization.

The victory of Rishabh Malhotra at DAV PG College Dehradun and Mahipal Bisht at HNB Garhwal University have waved saffron in the largest educational institutions in the state. ABVP also proves the occupation of ABVP in major colleges like Shuddhowala Doiwala, Rishikesh, Karanprayag, Srinagar, Khatima and Kotdwar that the students have expressed confidence in the working style and issues of the organization.

This victory of students conflicts and real issues- ABVP

ABVP believes that this victory is not only the election victory but the victory of students’ struggles and real issues. The organization has long been active to protect transparent examinations, better educational environment and student interests. This is the reason that the students gave priority to the panel associated with national interest and student interest.

Impact of Dhami Government’s policies

Political analysts believe that the policies of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami government are also important for this fierce victory. In recent years, the Dhami government has implemented strict anti-copy law to ensure transparency in competitive examinations. Also, by giving the opportunity of more than 25 thousand government jobs to the youth, a positive environment has been created in the employment sector.

A befitting reply to spread the arrest

Not only this, while the opposition tried to incite the youth and surround the government on the complaints of cheating in the UKSSSC examination, the results of the college elections proved that the student community is standing in favor of the government and ABVP. This result is being considered a befitting reply against efforts to spread chaos in the state.

Future direction

Political analysts believe that this victory of ABVP in Uttarakhand’s student politics will decide the direction of the future. It can not only indicate the strength of the organization, but can also affect the mainstream politics of the state in the coming time. The historic victory of ABVP in the students’ union elections and the public support on the policies of the Dhami government is a proof that the youth of Uttarakhand stands with the nationalist ideology and transparent governance system.

Opposition and some organizations continuously questioned the intention of the government regarding irregularities in the Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UKSSSC) paper leak and recruitment examinations. It has been raised that the youth of the state is angry with the government and has taken to the road against it, but the results of the students’ union elections held in more than 100 colleges of the state present the opposite picture of this notion.

Students honored the policies of the government

ABVP is the BJP’s ongoing organization, and the BJP’s roots extend to the university and college campus from organizational terms. In such a situation, after the UKSSSC paper case came to light, it started to arise that this time the youth will respond to the BJP and its subsidiary organization with the strength of their vote and will show the path of defeat to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad in these elections. But the huge victory in the students’ union elections confirms that there is no widespread resentment between the students and its government.

The big and historic victory of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) made it clear that the students of the state colleges and universities, especially Genz, the BJP’s ideology and the policies of the government led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. Election results also show that the situation of confidence in the government among students is far different from the allegations of the opposition.

Under the leadership of CM Dhami, the government has taken several concrete steps to make the recruitment process completely transparent and strict control over cheating. Decisions such as anti -copying law, technical monitoring in recruitment examinations and improvement in examination system have been successful in conveying the message to the youth that the government is listening to their concerns seriously and is ready to take strict steps for the solution.

Political analysts believe that this victory of ABVP is not only the result of organizational power or electoral strategy, but it is a symbol of the trust of the youth that they are on the policies and functioning of the government. The opposition may have tried to surround the government through movements to the students, but the results of the student union elections are indicated that the youth gave more importance to the intention and policies of the government.
