JNUSU Election: Presidential Candidate's Eligibility Challenged
The JNU student union elections are causing some confusion.
A new rule says that students who are members of the Internal Committee (IC) can't run.
Aditi Mishra, who was supposed to be the presidential candidate, resigned from the IC, but the administration is not sure if her resignation is valid.
There is a dispute whether the election rules apply to her.
She believes the ABVP is working with the administration to prevent her from running.
Aditi Mishra, the United Left panel's presidential candidate, may be ineligible to run.
A new election guideline states IC members cannot contest the JNUSU elections.
Mishra resigned from her IC position on October 23, 2025.
The administration claims the resignation may be invalid until a new person is elected.
Mishra alleges the ABVP is colluding with the administration to affect the outcome.
