recommendations that are meant to deflate the radicalism of students' politics. We all know the draconian provisions of Lyngdoh.

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 platform of JNUS~ election to reach out to the student community and take up those issues that cannot be addressed by the opportunist "left" organizations 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 re~istance. This was the very reason that AISA-DSF led JNUSU this time has built upon it's earlier records of being the bootlickers o~ JNU administration. Thus, !effing 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 candidates 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 their basic rights to accommodation and food for months even after the beginning of the new semester. AISA-DSF led JNUSU did not even intervene 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 administratjon as was pointed out by the CAG report. Fourth, .Q!l their promise to lead a struggle to increase the MCM. AISA-DSF led JNUSU fooled the students community by sitting on a 'definite' indefin~e hunger strike. Rfth, oQ__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-Communai-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 c·rusaders. Sixth, on its claim to champion the issue of social justice & minority rights. AISA·DSF led JNUSU has not taken any concrete step in the fear of losing communal Hindutva forces within its organisation. In the eyes of AISADSF, SC/ST/OBC/minority/women constitute just a vote-bank while most of its leadership in the past has comes ·trom upper class/castes. Seventh, on the promise to ensure deprivation points for minorites. the AISA-DSF led JNUSU neither had a clear vision nor are they willing to call for a UGBM to get the students mandate, this blatantly expose their attempts to trivialise the fight for social justicies as these revolutionary parties even failed to -acknowledge caste difference/discrimination pointed out in Sachar committee recommendations. Eight, on the pr.omise to revoke the BAMA de-linking, AISA-DSF led JNUSU only paid a lip service to our demands. While a full fledged struggle is the requirement AISA-DSF led JNUSU .
Protest demo during the BoS only unmasked their half-hearted commitment to the issue. Ninth, while raising drop out rate in the BAIMA shocked the JNUcommunity, recently exposed M. Phil drop-out is more shocking as it categorically exposes caste and class character in JNU. The silence and the ineffective struggle of AISA-DSF led JNUSU to stop such discrimination shows their class-caste charaCter. Degen.eration and Revisionism of Established Left: The degeneration and revisionism of AISA along with its parental party CPI-ML (Liberation) is because of the fact that they were floated with an aim to correct revisionism and opportunism of SFI and CPM. But .
AISA and CPI-ML (Liberation) very soon fell prey to the same mistakes and dirty tactics which were once criticised by them. Under the crisis of legitimacy and shrinking base, CPM-ML (Liberation) entered into alliance with its enemy number 1 CPM during last Bihar election, while it betrayed landless labourers, mostly Dalits by working as a partner of castiest, communal and feudal military force, Ranvir Sana, in Bihar, which engineered the Bathani Tola massacre in 1996. · .
Turning to SFI, division, internal fighting, opportunism and lac~ of revolutionary vision has also fractured SFI into at least three camps in JNU. While during the last election SFI candidates made mockery of JNUSU election by suddenly appearing like a ghost, the DSF is the most confused organisation today. It has opposed its leadership on the candidature of aneo-liberar Pranab Mukherjee and gpt expelled. But, it yet adopted the SFI's constitution as their own. How far is DSF different from the SFI?

It is a bizarre situation that while it upheld CPI-M's crime against farmers, workers and women in Nandigram and Singur, it suddenly became "critical" "autonomous" and "independent" on Pranab episode.
