Staff Reporter

Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken has accused the Aam Aadmi Party of using Government machinery and excessive money in promoting its student wing for the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) polls. Maken alleged that the Delhi Government is using at least 50 advertisement sites to promote CYSS leaders. Introducing NSUI candidates for DUSU elections, Maken said umpteenth number of hoardings have been put up by the CYSS all over Delhi on paid sites and bus shelters, costing crores of rupees. “This is unprecedented as no paid sites or bus shelters have ever been used or such enormous amount of money spent on Students’ Union elections. I started my career as a class representative in Hans Raj College, followed by winning elections of CC, EC and also the DUSU president but I have never seen such large scale use of money power,” Maken noted.
