In a significant political statement, the anti-reservation group at Jawaharlal Nehru University contesting the<b> JNU Students' Union (JNUSU) elections under the Youth for Equality (YFE) banner grabbed five seats of councillors. All the four central panel candidates registered handsome leads in the first three rounds of the counting of votes till late night. </b>
Rated by their hardcore political rivals like Students Federation of India (SFI) and All India Students Association (AISA) political minnows, <b>YFE sprung a surprise and in fact made substantial dents into the support base of AISA, National Students Union of India (NSUI) and even Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) at least in the crucial councillors' contest.</b>
YFE emerged as an entity in the campus earlier this year following intense protests after Union HRD Minister announced reservation for OBCs in Government-aided educational institutions.
Out of the total seats of<b> 31 councillors, SFI and ABVP managed 10 and nine seats respectively whereas NSUI had to contend with just one. AISA got two seats.</b>

YFE presidential candidate Sonika Tyagi quipped,<b> "We are happy that we have managed five councillors' posts. Our opponents have supported the reservation bill for OBCs for their own political motives. We took up the issue just because it's a political game played by our politicians to divide this country on the basis of caste."</b> A YFE member Sumit Kishore asserted that the victory is a rebuttal to their opponents who had naively claimed that the anti-reservation issue would not work in the campus.
<b>With nine seats, ABVP made the battle of ballot quite tough for its opponent SFI for the councillor post and the itch among SFI cadre was palpable</b>. "<b>We don't even count ABVP as opponent," </b>claimed SFI worker from the School of Arts and Aesthetics Prakash claimed.
Reacting to this, member of<b> ABVP Sushant Singh said that the Communist ideology has maligned the environment of the campus and students are fed up with their fake promises.</b> "We were confident that our hard work would pay dividends. Students know what their requirements are and who can fulfill those. We had raised serious issues concerning the students and that is why we bagged nine seats."
NSUI member Vijay Kumar surprisingly blamed the Left oriented parties responsible for their dismal performance.<b> "We had a very few members in JNU and these parties are cadre based which is why they manage to impose their ideologies upon the faculty, staff and the students",</b> he said.
Till the report was filed the candidates of Youth for Equality were leading the race for all the four posts with a margin of 400 plus votes

In communist heartland, they lost election. congress youth wing NSUI is also gone. I hope UP, MP and these result will make Moron SIngh, Queen and third rated commies to leave Indians alone.
