DUSU polls: HC decries the ‘influence of money power’

The Hindu  

The High Court here on Wednesday expressed outrage over the defacing of public property and the “influence of money power” ahead of the Delhi University Students’ Union polls, which are scheduled for Friday. Expressing concern over the growing influence of money power in student politics, it said, “What is the point of having so much money power? This is laundering of money which is taking place here.” During the proceedings, the counsel for the MCD and Delhi Metro provided evidence of the widespread defacement, revealing that the civic body had removed four truckloads of election material, including 16,000 boards, 7,000 hoardings, 200,000 pamphlets and posters, and 28,500 banners since September 13. Delhi University’s counsel requested the court to take up the case again tomorrow, indicating that the university is considering significant actions regarding the elections.
