The general secretary election was won by Kusum by 258 votes and Pappu won the joint secretary election by 326 votes.

Last year ABVP had been able to win the joint-secretary election but were unable to hold onto their gains in this election.

Earlier during voting, the police intervened and took two SFI activist into preventive detention. Surinder, president SFI and Manish Sharma, a MTech student who has been expelled from the university but whose name figured in the voter list were detained by the police.

RM Sharma, district police chief said, “the duo were taken into preventive custody for obstructing and assaulting a government official while on duty.”

Elsewhere at Rashtriya Kanya Maha Vidyalayah (RKMV) government girls college Shimla, it was a clean sweep for communist affiliated organisation Students Federation of India (SFI) who won all the four positions – President, Vice-President, General Secretary and Joint-secretary, for which voting was held earlier in the day.

    What happens to SFI’s party wing CPI in vidhan sabha elections? where they are lost in representing the state? or should we* just believe that winning in HPU for over a dedacde is just a fallacy? If there has been such a tremendous performance by SFI for more than over a decade then why cant they just win one seat in Vidhan Sabha elections in Himachal? Lal Salam sirf HPU ke elections main he chalta hai, otherwise they hibernate in black hole.
