The Central Executive Committee of the
Students’ Federation of India congratulates the students of Himachal
Pradesh and the state unit of SFI for registering an impressive victory
in the SCA elections. The elections were held on 23rd of August.
Out
of the 300 panel posts throughout the state SFI candidates have been
victorious in 102. Himachal Pradesh University once again confirmed
itself to be a bastion of SFI. Out of the 49 Department Representatives
SFI candidates won in 46. ABVP with 2 has been the nearest finisher!!!
NSUI won 1 DR post. In the four central posts SFI panel registered its
ever highest victory in the history of the SCA elections of HPU. Rahul
Chauhan won the President post by a margin of 713 votes. The POST OF THE
Vice President was won by Priyanka Chauhan by margin of 570 votes.
Vikram Kayet and Amit Kumar won the posts of General Secretary and Joint
Secretary respectively. The margins were 696 and 751.
SFI panel
won completely in 18 colleges. Out of the four panel posts SFI won three
in 8 colleges. In Shimla district SFI won 35 panel posts out of the
total 48. SFI swept the election in the colleges of Shimla town. SFI
candidates won all the 16 panel posts in the four colleges(Kotshira
Government College, Rajakiya Kanya Mahavidyalay,Sanjoli College and
Shimla Evening College) of Shimla town.
The victory is specially
significant because the BJP government in the state with the aid of the
state administration and the College and University authorities has been
constantly hatching conspiracies against the SFI. Particularly in the
HPU campus the Vice Chancellor Prof A D N Bajpayee had misused all his
power to defeat SFI and create favourable ground for the ABVP. Blue eyed
boy of the RSS, Prof Bajpayee had openly urged students to support the
ABVP candidates.besides being regularly participating in open programmes
of Viswa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal he Recently even inaugurated
the office of VHP at Shimla. He was unable to digest the huge victory of
SFI last year also and delayed the oath taking ceremony of the elected
SCA by 7 months. False cases against the SFI activists were filed and
six SFI activists including the elected President, General Secretary and
Vice President were put behind bars for 29 days.
The victory of
SFI in HPU and the colleges of Himachal Pradesh is a source of
tremendous inspiration for the rank and file of SFI throughout the
country and will strengthen the nationwide struggle for campus
democracy. It is to be noted that only a few days ago SFI has also
performed well in the College and University Union elections of
Rajasthan also. The CEC of SFI once again congratulates the students of
Himachal and our valiant comrades for registering such an emphatic win
against all odds.
