ABVP Sweeps University of Hyderabad Student Union, Taking Central Panel and School Seats

NSUI finished behind NOTA at a campus where it has long been weak.

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.
