Delhi University's Rs 1 lakh bond rule for student elections draws criticism from AAP's student wing

New Delhi, Aug 13 (UNI) The Aam Aadmi Party's student wing, the Association of Students for Alternative Politics (ASAP), has strongly opposed Delhi University's recent directive requiring candidates contesting student union elections to submit a Rs 1 lakh bond.
The group has termed the move a "conspiracy to exclude middle-class students" from the democratic process. At a press conference, ASAP Delhi State President Kuldeep Bidhuri criticized the decision, calling it a "Tughlaqi farman" (arbitrary decree) and questioning how ordinary students could afford such an amount.
"This is a deliberate attempt to prevent middle-class students from participating in elections. If a student files nominations for all four posts, where will they arrange Rs 4 lakh?" he asked.
