JNUSU Election 2012 is just a few days to go. But current election-like the previous one is again going to be under the Lyngdoh recommendations that meant for deflating the radicarism of students' politics. We all know the \.

·~the Lyngdoh recommendation 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". 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 .

studeqt commu~ity and take up those issues cannot be addressed by opportunist "lefr organisation because they fear .

that their light-wing base might get eroded. I think unless the Lyngdoh is rolled back, we will have a tamed student body. .

Such body is required for the elites because it will give a (false) impression that there is a "democratic" participation of .

~n~in the decision making 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-led JNUSU this time has-improved its earlier records of being .

abootlicker of JNU administration. Thus, AISA coufd not do anything for students. First, OBC reserva~i.on has not been fully implemented year after year. Second, marks for the viva from 30 to 10 j \t .

has not been reduced, despite its promise. As a result, SC/ST/OBC/women/ candidates continue to be discriminated. Third, oo·its promise of building up new hostels, AISA fail to pressurise the administration. As a resuiC hundreds of ~~ students are depfived of their basic rights to shelter and food month~ after the opening of new semester. AISA even did 'n d.

not intervene when the funds for the expansion of infrastructure in the wake of 27% OBC reservation was diverted or .

rather misused by JNU administration as pointed out by CAG report. Fourth, on its promise to lead a struggle against the .
