Student Political Activity Revives in Madhya Pradesh and Punjab University Elections See New Alliances

Analysed 31 Aug 2026·5 sources analysed·Punjab, India, India·Politics
Student Political Activity Revives in Madhya Pradesh and Punjab University Elections See New AlliancesPreviousNext

Student politics is resurging in Madhya Pradesh with the first campus elections since 2017, involving groups like ABVP and NSUI amid concerns over past violence. In Punjab, the student wings of Shiromani Akali Dal (SOI) and BJP-affiliated ABVP formed an alliance for Panjab University elections after SOI's candidate was disqualified. This collaboration signals potential political realignments ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly polls, though no formal party-level agreement has been confirmed.
