TALEIGAO: The postponement of the Goa University Students’ Council (GUSC) Executive Committee elections at the last moment triggered protests by student bodies on campus on Tuesday.
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Goa, staged a protest at the office of the Director of Students’ Welfare (DSW) after the university administration announced the deferment just ahead of the scheduled polling.
ABVP said more than 60 of its University Faculty Representatives (UFRs) from across Goa had arrived at the campus to cast their votes, but were informed only at the last minute that the elections had been postponed.
The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) also protested the decision, objecting to the postponement being attributed to the model code of conduct.
NSUI alleged that the ruling BJP was responsible for the delay, claiming the elections were deferred as the party “did not have the required numbers” in the council.
Student leaders from both organisations criticised the university administration for the sudden decision, stating that it caused inconvenience to representatives who had travelled from different parts of the State.
They demanded clarity from the authorities and an immediate announcement of fresh election dates.
