Political parties divided over reintroduction of student polls

MUMBAI: Political parties seem to be divided on whether to reintroduce elections in college campus. While the ruling Congress-NCP is in favour of reintroduction of campus poll, the Raj Thackeray-led MNS have opposed the elections. Even Shiv Sena is little sceptical about smoother implementation of the election process.

Student elections were banned in 1993 in Maharashtra following large-scale violence during campus polls.

Sharad Pawar led NCP party's working president in Maharashtra, Jitendra Awadh, strongly supported the move to reintroduce student election in colleges. "College elections have given several leaders who have made their footprint in national politics," Awadh said, adding, "Discontinuing the campus poll process has created vacuum in the political system." Congress too is of the opinion that college elections should be restarted in the state.

However, Raj Thackeray-led MNS has strongly opposed the proposal. "We have seen that election leads to quarrel among student fraternity. It is not good to have any system that creates law and order problem at college level," Bala Nandgaonkar, MNS legislator, remarked. Echoing similar views, Shiv Sena's Pratap Sarnaik said he is witness to several college elections which have actually lead to "gang-war". Before introducing any such system back in the society, the ruling government has to put in place a system that will ensure violence free campus poll.
