01:18 in 2018-2019.

01:32 and NSUI.

02:29 respectively.

02:40 votes.
02:41 Speaking about his success, Deda said, "The ABVP's dedication to issue-based campaign
02:47 resonated with the diverse student body of Delhi University.
02:51 The substantial margins to offer victories signifies the deep trust and faith that students
02:56 have in ABVP's ability to work for their welfare."
03:00 As per statement by ABVP on Saturday, Aparajita celebrated her historic victory as a woman
03:06 candidate with the highest margin of votes and stated that this victory "underscores
03:12 the impact of ABVP's consistent work on women's issue and empowerment.
03:17 We are committed to reciprocating this immense support by tirelessly serving the entire student
03:23 community of Delhi University," it said.

03:55 violation of norms during election, and incidents of violence, students turned up in large numbers
04:01 to participate in this democratic progress and gave their mandate.
04:04 After the huge setback of the lockdown and BJP-RSS-ABVP's campaign of violence and hooliganism,
