A group of six young people standing together at night, smiling and making peace signs with their hands. They are wearing bright orange scarves and shawls with “ABVP” written on them, and some have colored powder smeared on their faces and clothes. One person holds the Indian national flag, while another holds an orange ABVP flag. The background shows trees and streetlights, suggesting the photo was taken outdoors during a celebration or gathering.

Overview

  • University results confirm ABVP–SLVD won president through cultural and sports secretary, with Siva Palepu, Debendra, Shruti Priya, Saurabh Shukla, Venus and Jwala elected respectively.
  • Polling was held on September 19 with over 81% turnout across 169 candidates, and counting concluded on September 20 before the university declared the winners.
  • SFI and ASA parted ways after six years, forming separate coalitions that included groups such as AISA, MSF, Fraternity, DSU, BSF and TSF, creating a three-cornered contest.
  • The campaign spotlighted protecting HCU land at Kancha Gachibowli and nationalist messaging, which ABVP leaders cited as key to their sweep.
  • The vote followed the administration’s dissolution of the previous Students’ Union, a move protested by rival groups that alleged administrative partiality.
