The students’ election committee of the disbanded Gender Sensitisation Committee Against Sexual Harassment (GSCASH) in Jawaharlal Nehru University on Thursday declared the results for the elections conducted to pick four student representatives.
An M.Phil student and Birsa Ambedkar Phule Students’ Association candidate, Magare Bhupali Vitthal secured 1,308 votes; Ph.D. student Shreya Ghosh belonging to a Left-leaning group got 1,189 votes and Srabani Chakraborty of the Students’ Federation of India won 1,144 votes.
Chetna Trivedi of the All India Students’ Association and Swati Simha both secured 1,122 votes each. “In case of a tie, re-election is an option. But nothing has been decided as of now,” Bhagat Singh Saini, the chairperson of the poll committee, said.
The panel had conducted the polls on Wednesday defying restrictions imposed by the administration.
However, it received support from a resolution passed in JNUSU’s ‘Extraordinary University General Body Meeting’ on September 22.
