Delhi University's campuses are alive with vibrant election campaigns. Luxurious cars such as Range Rovers, Thars, and SUVs fill the convoys of candidates vying for positions in the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections. The competitive atmosphere is palpable, with supporters arriving from across the country to bolster their candidates' chances.

Luxurious Convoys and Outsider Support

Hundreds of supporters from other states have been brought in to showcase the candidates' influence. The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) brought in 100-150 supporters from various states to boost its campaign efforts.

Sudhanshu Chahal, an ABVP supporter from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, said, "Around 100-150 people have come to support ABVP from different states. We can’t enter the campus but distribute pamphlets and paste banners." On the other side, NSUI’s national delegate Y Pawan mentioned 100 supporters from Telangana arrived to campaign for their candidates.

Traffic Disruptions and Campaign Rules

Despite rules capping campaign expenses at Rs 5,000 per candidate, boxes of posters fill cars. Convoys create traffic jams, with police issuing over 50 fines a day. "Cars in convoys during rallies cause traffic jams," a traffic officer explained.

Creative Campaigning Amid Posters and Slogans

The atmosphere remains energetic with drums, slogans, and posters adorning every campus corner. NSUI candidate Udai Yadav took a sustainable approach, using tree leaves for his campaign materials. However, despite warnings from election authorities, the defacement of public property continues, with walls still plastered with campaign banners.
