Yash Dabas emerged as president, Riya Chhawdi secured the secretary\u2019s post and Lakshya Raj Singh was elected joint secretary. Independent candidate Deepanshu Shokeen won the vice-president\u2019s position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highlighting Delhi University\u2019s diverse student base, Das described the institution as \u201cMini India\u201d and said developments on its campus carried significance beyond the university. According to him, the results offered an indication of the political outlook of a section of the younger generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minister subsequently criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, claiming that the DUSU verdict had rejected what he termed the \u201cpolitics of lies\u201d and reflected support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s vision of a developed India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Das also mentioned Gandhi\u2019s \u2018Chhatron Ki Goonj\u2019 programme held in Indore, questioning its appeal among students. He alleged that the Congress and other opposition parties were attempting to influence Gen Z through what he described as \u201cfalse propaganda\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Referring to the election tally, Das noted that the Congress-affiliated National Students\u2019 Union of India (NSUI) did not win any of the four central positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also criticised Communist parties and other opposition groups, alleging that they were working against nationalism and India\u2019s cultural traditions. In his address, he used the expressions \u201cUrban Naxals\u201d and \u201cintellectual Naxals\u201d for groups he was criticising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calling on the youth to remain vigilant against what he described as \u201cforthcoming conspiracies and propaganda\u201d, Das invoked Swami Vivekananda and urged young people to pursue a positive approach while contributing to nation-building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Das concluded by congratulating the elected DUSU representatives and expressing hope that the new leadership would work for the welfare of students and contribute to the country\u2019s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agartala, September 20: Tripura Minister Sudhangshu Das on Saturday congratulated the newly elected office-bearers of the Delhi University Students\u2019 Union (DUSU) and hailed the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad\u2019s (ABVP) performance, saying the results reflected, in his view, a growing inclination among young people towards nationalism and the \u2018Viksit Bharat\u2019 vision.
