Lyngdoh:JNUSU Election 2013is just a few days away. Current election--like the previous ones--is again going to be .
h.eld under the Lyngdoh recommendations that are meant to deflate the radicalism of students' politics. We all knc;>w the draconian provisions of Lyngdoh. Even if Kashmir is burning and peoples in north-east are killed an~ raped by Indian state, the Lyngdoh recommendations do not give any space to students to debate and discuss these crimes. For the Lyngdoh, the student activist/leader has to be an 'integrationist & conformist'. Other constraints include administrative .
control of the· student union, age bar, lack of opportunities to link the students' issues with the struggling masses outside. In other words, the Lyngdoh commission is nothing but an imperialist, capitalist, statist, brahminical design to clip the wings of students' politics. We therefore, strongly believe that there is a need to intervene in the JNUSU election, given the politics of betrayal practiced by opportunist, castiest and communal forces such as AISA, SFI, DSF, AISF, ABVP, YFE,NSUI.Therefore, our presidential candidature is to use the platfonn of JNUSU election to reach out to the student .
community and take up those issues "that cannot be addressed by the opportunist "left" organisations because they fear .
that their right-wing base might get eroded. We think that unless the Lyngdoh is rolled back, we will have a toothless .
student body. Such body is required for the elite because it will give a (false) impression that there is a ~(democratic" .
participation of students in the decision making process at the university. But in reality, it works as a constraint on furthering the politics of struggle and resistance. This was the very reason that AISA-DSF led JNUSU this time has built .

Thus, letting the students community down.Failure of AISA-DSF led JNUSU;First, OBC reservation has not been fully implemented year after year. Second, weightage of viva voce has not been reduced from 30 to 10, as was promised. As a result, SC/ST/OBC/women candidat~s continue to be discriminated against. Third, on the promise of building up new hostels, AISA-DSF led JNUSU failed to pressurise the administration. As a result, hundreds of students are deprived of th~ir basic rights to accommodation and food for months even after the begining of the new semester. AISA-DSF led JNUSU did not even intezvene with force when the funds for the expansion of infrastructure in the wake of 27% OBC reservation were being diverted or rather misused by JNU administration as was pointed out by the CAG report. Fourth, on their promise to .

indefinite hunger strike. Fifth, on the promise to lead a struggle against LCR during the last JNUSU elections and hold it only as an 'interim' measure, what has been done by AISA-DSF led JNUSU in regard to this exposes their lack of political will to fight against this Castiest-Communal-Fascist recommendation. AISA-DSF half-hearted fight against Lyngdoh starts when the new academic session begins for a very short period to give an impression that they are real crusaders. Sixth, on its claim to champion the issue of social justice & minority rights, AISA-DSF led JNUSU has not .
