Odisha Student Union Elections After Eight Years See ABVP and BCJD Gains Amid Clashes
Odisha held student union elections after an eight-year gap, with the ABVP winning eight of 13 state universities and the BJD's student wing, BCJD, securing significant seats across colleges. The polls saw clashes and allegations of unfair practices from both sides. Union Home Minister Amit Shah praised ABVP's victories as support for the 'Nation First' ideology, while Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi highlighted Gen Z's trust in Prime Minister Modi. The Congress-affiliated NSUI also won posts but remained a distant third. Authorities maintained law and order amid tensions during oath ceremonies and protests.
