In a bid to woo Purvanchali voters for the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections, the NSUI has turned to its national leaders, including Kanhaiya Kumar, to campaign for its candidates.
Purvanchalis are a significant voting block in the DU elections and the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) - Congress's student wing - is hoping to use the support of Kanhaiya Kumar who is from Begusarai in Bihar. Kumar is also the NSUI-in-charge for Congress.
In a special event organised by NSUI leaders on Monday, Kanhaiya Kumar sought votes of Purvanchali students.
The event was also attended by Congress's social media and digital platforms chief Supriya Shrinate, NSUI national president Varun Choudhary and former NSUI chief Nadeem Javed.
Highlighting the community's potential to influence the outcome of the elections, NSUI national president Varun Choudhary, "I have a personal bond with Purvanchal as I was once the in-charge of NSUI Purvanchal."

"In the recent Lok Sabha elections, people of Purvanchal voted for jobs and change. Similarly, I believe students from Purvanchal have a huge role to play in the upcoming DUSU elections and will vote for NSUI on the same lines -- for jobs, better education and to reject ABVP," he said.
