Rajasthan Student Polls Stalled Amid Political Finger-Pointing
Imagine students in Rajasthan wanting to vote for their student leaders.
These votes haven't happened in a long time.
The student group NSUI is protesting to make it happen, but the police are stopping them.
The government, run first by one party and now another, keeps putting off the elections, and now everyone is blaming each other for why these votes aren't happening.
Student union polls in Rajasthan have been on hold for five years.
NSUI protested for elections; police used water cannons to disperse them.
Both Congress and BJP are criticized for avoiding student elections.
Congress cited Lyngdoh Committee violations as reason for pause.
Both parties now blame each other for the delay.
