DUSU president Shakti Singh to join BJP today

Sunday, 12 January 2020 | Sapna Singh | NEW DELHI

Amidst ongoing protests in Central Universities of India against Citizen Amendment Act (CAA), former Delhi University Student Union (DUSU) president Shakti Singh will join the Baharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday.

If party sources are to be believed, joining of Singh in the party is a tactic to approach youth with an aim to convey right message about CAA. "Singh is very likely to contest Delhi Assembly elections from Timarpur Vidhan Sabha constituency," a top BJP leader said.

Interestingly, this was the first time after 30 years when students from St Stephen protested against CAA and showed solidarity with Jamia and JNU students; at such phase joining of Singh in BJP will play crucial role.

Confirming his joining in BJP, Singh said that 10,000 youth also join BJP with him. "University campus has taken different shape now days, It is required to convey that youth is not standing with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress only but with BJP also," said Singh.

 "This is the time to change disruptive approach into constructive," Singh added.

While election in Delhi is just few weeks away, political identities are facing tough challenge to get across the youth of the country.

"Delhi people have faced a lot under the tenure of Arvind Kejriwal . Why public is bound to inhale polluted air and drinking polluted water," former DUSU president said.

Delhi, Singh questioned AAP what they have done so far for public health if the national capital is facing health emergency situation every winter season.

"After China, Delhi is now having tall air purifier, this is what BJP is doing for its people," adding, "Before free water and electricity  providing clean air should be the genuine effort of any ruling regime," he asserted.
