Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Dhananjay took part in ‘Free the Nipple’ movement with ripped top as he’s elected as First Dalit president in JNU.
The Birsa Ambedkar Phule Students’ Association (BAPSA) clinched a position in the Central Panel of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Student Union (JNUSU) for the first time in its history.
Priyanshi Arya, BAPSA’s general secretary candidate, emerged victorious in the student union elections by defeating ABVP’s Arjun Anand by 926 votes. Arya polled in 2,887 votes while Anand received 1,961 votes.
Dhananjay is the second Dalit candidate to become the President of the JNUSU and first ever from the Left. In 1996-97, Lal Bairwa had become the first Dalit candidate to become the President of the JNU.
Also, Avijit Ghosh was elected to the post of Vice-President, Priyanshi Arya (BAPSA Left Supported) was elected as the General Secretary and Mo Sajid (Left) was elected as the Joint Secretary.
BAPSA is an Ambedkarite students’ organisation formed on November 15, 2014 at the Jawaharlal Nehru University on Birsa Munda’s birth anniversary.
Ever since the inception of JNUSU elections, BAPSA has never been able to secure a position in the Central Panel of JNUSU which comprises the president, vice president, secretary, and joint secretary.
However, the association has consistently won counsellor positions.
