The ABVP is hoping to make a strong comeback in the JNU Students' Union elections this year. The party has been out of power in the union for the past two years. The Left-leaning All India Students' Association (AISA) has been in control of the union for the past two years.
The ABVP is likely to face a tough challenge from the AISA and other Left-wing student organizations. The AISA is also expected to release its list of probable candidates soon.
The JNU Students' Union elections are one of the most prestigious student union elections in India. The elections are closely watched by political parties and the media. The results of the elections are often seen as a barometer of the political mood among the youth.
