00:00And we cut across to my colleague Anmol Bali, who's been getting us all the voices from the ground.
00:04Anmol, big moment, especially how the BJP is celebrating the victory of ABVP,
00:10saying that the Gen Z has put out its verdict to where they stand.
00:18So, at one hand, we are seeing that Bharti Janta Party has also started celebrating
00:22for the victory of Akhil Bharti with Darthi Prishat.
00:24But on the other hand, ABVP has also started their celebration
00:28because this was a tough fight for the ABVP this time.
00:31Their margins have decreased.
00:32But on the other hand, we are seeing that Rahul Gandhi,
00:34who are saying that Chhatro Ki Goonj, the Gen Z are with them.
00:38But on the other hand, ABVP and BJP are saying that Gen Z are with the nation.
00:43They are with the nation's first ideology.
00:45I'm joined by Dr. Virendra Swalanki and as well as the winners of the ABVP panel.
00:51So, Mr. Swalanki, what you have to say today,
00:53we have seen that Rahul Gandhi has called Chhatro Ki Goonj a rally in Daur,
00:56for your own hometown.
00:58So, what do you have to say on it?
00:59They say that Chhatro Ki Goonj,
01:01and here in Delhi, the Gen Z ki Goonj will be seen in Daur.
01:03I think that today's message, they will hear the sound of the Gen Z generation
01:07that Chhatro Gen Z generation is with whom.
01:09This Chhatro Ki Goonj is not the name of the name of the Gen Z generation.
01:11It will not be the name of the Gen Z.
01:13The Gen Z is the whole country watching that who is with the Gen Z.
01:17I'm joined by Yash Dabas, the winner of the president's position.
01:20And this time, your margin was less.
01:22But still, you won the president's position.
01:25This was a very tough fight.
01:26We have seen that for the very first time.
01:27We have seen an S.T. candidate from the other side.
01:30The V.P. has also brought two records.
01:32So, what do you have to say on ABVP's victory?
01:35And on the other hand, Congress party's narrative that Gen Z is with them?
01:59I am also joined by a secretary winner, Riya Chhavadi.
02:03What do you have to say?
02:04You are the only woman in the panel.
02:06So, what main issues you will be focusing in the panel?
02:09Because you are the only woman candidate in the panel.
02:12As a girl candidate, my main motive is women's safety.
02:15And I will ensure that in Delhi University,
02:18every student will feel safe and secure.
02:21And the same person who will feel home from the other side.
02:26So, these were the winning candidates from the AVVP.
02:29I am also joined by Lakshara, the joint secretary.
02:31We have also seen a tough fight by the independent candidate
02:35on the joint security positions of what you have to say.
02:37Yes, I mean, it was a tough fight.
02:39I mean, it was a tough fight for them.
02:40I mean, it was a tough fight for them too.
02:42So, in that fight, there were three people in the same place.
02:44Three people in the same position.
02:46They were fighting for the same position.
02:47And they were fighting for the same time.
02:49And they were fighting for a long time.
02:49But I think it was a tough fight for me.
02:52I think it was a tough fight for me.
02:54So, these are all three winning candidates from Dakhil Bharati, Vidyarthi Parishad.
02:59Those who have clearly shared their political thoughts on the Rahul Gandhi's political narrative,
03:04Chhatro Ki Goonj.
03:04And even, they have also talked about this time's little margin, which led to their victory.
03:10But on the other hand, we are also seeing the National Student Union of India
03:12is also accusing the Delhi University and ABVP of rigging the elections.
03:17But, yeah, politics is now escalating.
03:18But on one hand, BJP has started congratulating the ABVP, CAIDAR, the APVP candidates,
03:24those who have won the election.
03:25But on the other hand, Congress Party and their student wing are accusing BJP, ABVP
03:29and Delhi University administration.
03:32We'll talk more about the rigging part.
03:34But before that, Anmol, you've been interacting with a lot of these students.
03:37What really went on the ground to lead to this victory?
03:40Reduced margin is one aspect of it.
03:43But after the students' protest, the narrative that panned out, it wasn't easy.
03:47And the NSUIMA have also predicted a clear victory.
03:52But given the fact that they won nothing, ABVP with three plump posts
03:55and one post of vice president having gone to an independent candidate,
03:59what does it speak of?
04:05This year, we have seen that NSUIMA hasn't won any one position in the panel.
04:09Last year, we have seen that NSUIMA has won vice president.
04:11And from last five to six years, we were seeing that around two to three positions
04:16were won by the ABVP and one or two positions were won by the NSUIMA.
04:19But this time, we have seen a zero by the NSUIMA in the central panel of Delhi University Students' Union.
04:25But on the other hand, we are also seeing politics escalating on this issue.
04:28But this time, we have also seen a new trend in student politics
04:31where Dipanshu Shukhin, the VP candidate who has won the election as an independent for the very first time,
04:38we have seen that an independent candidate has won with record-breaking margins, Suesha.
04:43So clearly, which is showing that the trend in the student politics is now changing
04:47from one political outfit to they are now focusing on individual candidates also,
04:51like we have seen in Rajasthan also,
04:53that how after BJP and Congress, independent candidates became the third number
04:58in terms of winning the awards.
05:00And now we are also seeing that independent candidates are also winning the student election,
05:04which clearly shows that how trends are changing, Suesha.
05:08Trends indeed are changing and a big moment, not just for the ABVP,
05:11but even the BJP, where the focus has primarily been on Gen Z,
05:16especially after the students' protests,
05:17after the resignation by Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan,
05:21and how the BJP, as part of his strategy, is very carefully focusing on Gen Z.
05:28Because it is not just the BJP, but even the Congress and by and as the focus has gone on
05:33Gen Z.
05:34And that is why we see more of these students meet going on the ground,
05:39going to these universities, top leaders, Rahul Gandhi's campaign,
05:43Prime Minister Narendra Bodhi, who was seen in Ahmedabad and in Delhi,
05:47interacting with the students, interacting with Gen Z.
05:50So that has become a very important aspect now,
05:53when it comes to the top political leaders and the top political parties.
05:57And now, with the ABVP's victory, BJP going all out to celebrate.
06:08Anmol.
06:13Suwesha, as you know, we have seen that the Congress Party and BJP both have started their outreach program
06:19after the neat UG paper leak issue.
06:20We have seen that Congress Party has launched their Chhatron Ki Goonj movement,
06:24where we have seen that Rahul Gandhi interacted with the Gen Z and the young voters across India.
06:29And today, Rahul Gandhi is also, he's in Indore,
06:33he's interacting with Gen Zs of Indore, of the Madhya Pradesh,
06:36and amidst this, we have seen that Delhi University Students' Union results
06:40are kind of a surprise for the Congress Party and for the NSUIE.
06:43But on the other hand, we have also seen PM Modi has also started outreach program.
06:47He visited SRCC, Shriram College, the Delhi University,
06:51then he visited in Gujarat, he interacted with the students.
06:54Even we have seen that PM Modi also visited at IIT Delhi and interacted with the Gen Z.
06:59And even we have seen that PM Modi has given Instagram first mantra
07:03to the BJP leaders to reach young voters,
07:07the voters which are in the Gen Z category,
07:10which are between the 20 and 30 years old, around 17 to 30 years old.
07:15Clearly, we have seen that all political parties are now seeing Gen Z as a voter bloc.
07:20And now they're all focusing.
07:21And ABVP's victory has kind of given arm shot to the Bharati Janata Party.
07:26And in their narrative, that Gen Z is with them,
07:28that Gen Z is looking at the nation-first ideology.
07:31They are not looking at the Congress Party.
07:33But on the other hand, the Congress Party is accusing the ABVP and the BJP
07:38of using their machinery and rigging the elections.
07:41So we are seeing politics escalating on this issue.
07:43But on the other hand, celebration in BJP and ABVP camp.
07:46So, Isha.
07:46Oh, yes.
07:47And after the ABVP's victory,
07:50Chhatro Ki Gonj were the exact slogans that were heard resounding on the ground
07:54in a direct attack to the Congress and the NSUY
08:00over how the Gen Z is speaking and what their language,
08:04what their leanings are all about.
08:07Rahul Gandhi, you're saying, is also on the ground as part of one of these campaigns.
08:12But do tell us if there's been any response from Rahul Gandhi from the Congress so far.
08:16Aside of these rigging allegations.
08:24We haven't seen any tweet or any post or any video by any Congress leader
08:30because currently all Syrian leaders of the Congress Party,
08:33they are all in Indore.
08:34They are leading an outreach campaign in Indore
08:37where they're interacting with the youth of Indore.
08:38And this is not the very first time that we are seeing that Rahul Gandhi
08:41has called a movement like this, Chhatro Ki Gonj,
08:43the other cadre of the Congress Party from IYC to Mahila Congress.
08:47They have all launched this kind of movement to reach to the Gen Z voters.
