The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) has engaged in significant political activity across various Indian universities. In August, NSUI leaders, including President Vinod Jakhar and MP Deepinder Hooda, campaigned at Panjab University. They framed the upcoming elections as a referendum on student dissatisfaction regarding campus security, sanitation, and recent police actions against students.

By September, the NSUI secured election victories at the Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal Central University. In the Pauri and Birla campuses, NSUI candidates won key positions, including Secretary. Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal described these wins as a “significant setback for the BJP,” suggesting the results reflect broader dissatisfaction with current government policies.
