All quiet at PU after poll CHANDIGARH A visit to the SOPU and the PUSU-ABVP-HSA areas showed campaigners, including leaders, yawning and stretching to pull themselves for up normal life following anxious moments before poll-results yesterday. The PUSU-ABVP-HSA panel recorded victory in majority of the departments, including arts block I, arts block II, mathematics, law, botany, geography, physics, theatre and music. The biggest losses to the winning panel were recorded in the Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. The SOPU recorded 123 votes against 13 by the winning panel. In the department of chemical engineering, SOPU recorded 208 votes as against 76 by the PUSU-ABVP-HSA. Mr Dayal Pratap Singh Randhawa of SOPU, a former president of the council, said the loss was accepted. They had decided to constitute an active opposition panel, which would participate actively in student programmes, he added. Interestingly a couple of days earlier, a candidate of the history department filed his name as Bhupinder Singh Bhuppi, the winner of the president’s post, as a contestant. The winner lost the suffix Bhuppi in the list once released during the elections. The chairman of the HSA said the university allowed the other candidate to take the suffix Bhuppi. Last year also, the winner had Bhuppi along with his name while the other candidate did not carry the suffix Bhuppi. Ultimately, following deliberations at the election tribunal and the DSW level, the fresher was disallowed to carry Bhuppi with his name. Consequently he also pulled out of the elections. |
