Varun Choudhary, president of the Congress-affiliated National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), alleged at a press conference that people linked to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) had been appointed electoral officers for the polls.

“Individuals previously associated with the ABVP are now serving as election commissioners that can influence the election results,” Choudhary said.

The Congress-backed organisation, however, expressed confidence that it would win this year’s elections.
