Which alliance comprises the All India Students’ Association (AISA), Students’ Federation of India (SFI), and Democratic Students’ Federation (DSF) in the 2025 JNUSU elections?
Left UnityIn the 2025 JNUSU elections, AISA, SFI, and DSF have come together under the banner of 'Left Unity' to contest against ABVP and the emerging PSA. This coalition emphasizes inclusion, accessibility, and student welfare as its core campaign themes. The Left Unity has historically dominated JNUSU politics, controlling the central panel for most of the past decade until ABVP’s breakthrough in 2024. Their candidates include Aditi Mishra for president and Danish Ali for joint secretary. The alliance frames the election as a defense of democratic spaces and dissent on campus against what they describe as rising majoritarianism.

What key campus issue did ABVP highlight as part of its student welfare agenda in the 2025 JNUSU elections?
Overcrowded library with capacity for only 1,000 studentsABVP’s campaign in the 2025 JNUSU elections focused heavily on tangible campus infrastructure issues, particularly the library’s limited seating capacity. With over 9,000 students enrolled but only 1,000 seats available, ABVP has pushed for the construction of a new library building. The organization also cited reopening the campus railway reservation counter and improving health and utility services as evidence of its performance-based approach. In contrast to the Left’s focus on national and global political issues, ABVP argues that students now prioritize accountability and local solutions. This shift in rhetoric appears to resonate with new undergraduates unfamiliar with JNU’s traditional ideological battles.
