As the JNUSU elections gain pace, the ABVP pitched itself as the voice of development and transparency, urging a shift away from ideological clashes on campus on Saturday.
With an issue-focused agenda, the ABVP has pledged initiatives to strengthen student welfare, governance transparency, and research innovation. Its candidates, Rajeshwar Kant Dubey and Anuj, urged that JNU student politics should be solution-driven rather than rhetorical.
Joint Secretary Candidate Anuj underscored ABVP’s dedication to enhancing campus infrastructure, with a focus on sports and science facilities. “Students at JNU possess immense talent, but lack of resources restricts their growth. ABVP aims to reintroduce the sports quota, renovate sports fields and gym facilities, and make sports a vital part of JNU’s identity,” he said.
He further pledged to upgrade laboratories, equip them with modern tools, and introduce AI-based academic resources to enhance research and innovation.
Rajeshwar Kant Dubey, a secretary candidate, spoke about the need for dialogue and transparency in campus governance. “The current state of student rights and administrative accountability at JNU is worrying. ABVP will promote student involvement in decision-making and revisit restrictive rules such as the CPO Manual,” he said.
Dubey, in his statement, further mentioned that the group’s approach centres on “constructive solutions, not opposition for the sake of opposition.”
ABVP’s campaign also focuses on expanding healthcare services, digitising libraries, launching employment-oriented programmes, and ensuring transparency in scholarships.
Chief Campaign Coordinator Arun Srivastava summed up the organisation’s vision: “We reject divisive politics. ABVP stands for nationalism, inclusivity, and development-oriented leadership. Our goal is to make JNU’s student politics synonymous with progress and accountability.”
