NEW DELHI: For the first time, Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union has gone totally ultra-left, marginalising the students' wings of CPM and CPI.
The All India Students' Association, the students' wing of the CPI(M-L) Liberation, on Sunday won all four key posts in the students' union.
The combine comprising CPM affiliate Students' Federation of India and CPI affiliate All India Students' Federation failed to pick up even a single seat in the central panel after dominating campus politics for nearly two decades.
SFI and AISF seem to have paid for the controversies dogging their parent parties after the violence in Nandigram and Singur, and the handling of the Rizwanur Rehman death case by the West Bengal government.
AISA has been active on the campus for the past 15 years. Cries of "Lal Salaam" rent the air as its candidate Sandeep Singh was announced student union president. Shephalika Shekhar was elected vice-president, Pallavi Deka became the new general secretary and Mobeen Alam was declared joint secretary.
