NOTA plays spoilsport for Left in DUSU polls

THE ‘None of the Above’ (NOTA) option was exercised by a large number of voters in the DUSU elections held this year, evidently to indicate their disdain for the power of muscle and money.

Of 53,452 students who voted on Friday, over 16,000 students voted for NOTA, which proved to be a game changer for both NSUI and ABVP which witnessed a tough competition amid the counting rounds on Saturday.

Surprisingly, NOTA was much ahead in numbers compared to the votes secured by the left parties including Students Federation of India (SFI) and All India Students Association (AISA).
