SFI, AISA announce alliance ahead of DU poll

The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) and the All India Students’ Association (AISA) have announced an alliance for the upcoming Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections 2025.

As per the announcement, the AISA will contest the positions of president and joint secretary, while the SFI will filed candidates for the posts of vice president and secretary.

SFI Delhi state secretary nominee Aishe Ghosh said, “The SFI and AISA have consistently stood at the forefront against the dominance of money and muscle power in Delhi University politics. Last year too, our panel secured close to 9,000 votes and established a strong third alternative in the DUSU arena. This time, continuing the fight for accessible and quality education, the unity of AISA and SFI will campaign on a joint platform of student struggles.”

AISA DU president nominee Saavy added, “This alliance comes at a time when there is an all out attack on universities. The Four-Year Undergraduate Programm (FYUP) has diluted the content and quality of education to the brink. Fee hikes are rampant across courses and colleges, while the recent Metro fare rise will hit students the hardest. Both organisations have come together to make this election a struggle for affordability and quality across the university.”
