New Delhi (PTI): BJP students' wing ABVP handed down a crushing defeat to Congress' NSUI in the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) polls, winning three out of four top posts, seen as significant ahead of Delhi assembly election. As it wrested control from NSUI, the ABVP credited the victory to the popularity of Narendra Modi among students as it had used the persona of the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate in the high-voltage campaign for polls to the prestigious student body.

Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) candidates Aman Awana and Utkarsh Chaudhary were elected as president and vice-president respectively while Raju Rawat, also of ABVP, won the post of joint secretary. Karishma Thakur of National Students Union of India (NSUI) has been elected as the secretary.

Awana, a student at the Department of Buddhist Studies, won the fight polling 17,879 votes against NSUI candidate Vishal Choudhary's 16,346 votes, Delhi University's Chief Election Officer Ashok Vohra said. Chaudhary won the vice president's posts polling 14,968 votes against NSUI candidate Kapil Sharma's 11,275 votes.
