Chandigarh, October 15

Members of the National Students Union of India (NSUI) celebrated the victory of Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar in the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha elections by distributing sweets at the Students’ Centre in Panjab University (PU).

The NSUI termed the huge victory by a margin of 1.93 lakh votes, a clear sign that people of Punjab were happy with the performance of Capt Amarinder Singh’s government. They added that voters rejected the decision of the Modi government to implement the GST and demonetisation.

“This victory in Gurdaspur has only strengthened the message that the youth and the nation want the Modi government to hear. With the NSUI bagging the seats in Delhi University and Panjab University and now the Gurdaspur bypoll victory; it seems to a clear mandate in favour of both the NSUI and Congress,” said Manoj Lubana, NSUI leader.

 “We will be coming back to power in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat too,” he added. 

Other NSUI leaders, Dr Chandan Rana and vice-president of PU Campus Students’ Council Karanvir Singh, were also present on the occasion.
