KSU 'didn't sweep polls', loss of bastions temporary setback: SFI
The New Indian Express Kochi|December 16, 2024
EVEN as the Kerala Students Union (KSU) made a near-clean sweep of the Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) students' union elections, the Students Federation of India (SFI), which had been in power at the varsity for the past 30 years, termed it a temporary setback.

KSU 'didn't sweep polls', loss of bastions temporary setback: SFI

The Cusat students union elections saw KSU winning 13 out of the 15 posts.

SFI state secretary P M Arsho said such setbacks happen. "And to say the KSU has swept the elections is not correct. In the case of campus elections, wins happen by a mere five or six votes. That is true in our case too," Arsho told TNIE.

While it has been being said that SFI has seen a slight dip in its clout among students over the years, Arsho begged to differ.
