The Left-supported All India Student Association swept the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Students’ Union polls by winning all the four central posts on  Sunday. The victory also starred a Sudanese national, who won one of the councillor’s posts.
Sandeep Singh was elected president, while Shephalika Shekhar won the position of vice president. AISA’s other candidates Pallavi Deka and Mohammed Mobeen Alam grabbed the posts of general secretary and joint secretary respectively. AISA is supported by the Communist Party of India-Marxist Leninist (CPI-ML).
AISA president Awadhesh said, "Sandeep defeated Youth For Equality (YFE) candidate Babita Sharma with a thumping majority of 300 votes.
“Shephalika, Pallavi and Mobeen also defeated their YFE rival candidates Sujeet Kumar, Swastik Rao and Kumar Abhijeet with a handsome margin,” he added.
AISA’S victory on Sunday dashed the hopes of Youth For Equality, an independent students’ group that took birth during the anti-reservation movement last year.
