SFI Wins Nanded University Polls


The SFI has won the Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University (Nanded) campus student council election in Maharashtra for the second time this year.


The SFI city committee member, Shivaji Shinde, has been elected as general secretary unopposed. The Bhartiya Vidyarthi Sena (BVS) and Nationalist Student Congress (NSC) could not get even a candidate for the contesting the election on their behalf, such was the unity of the students against these forces.

 

The SFI candidates were also elected as president and secretary in SRTM University Nanded divisional elections for the first time in Maharashtra. SFI’s Punnu Pratap Singh was elected as president and Yogiraj Punekar as secretary in the university division, which includes Nanded, Parbhani, Hingoli and Latur districts. The success in both these elections has highlighted the strength of the SFI in the university.


Among those who worked hard and played a key role in ensuring this success included SFI state president, Avinash Bhosikar, state secretariat member Raju Sonsale, Nanded district president, Prashant Sabbanwar, vice president, Dr Irfan Khan, and Somnath Nardile, Ajay Gaikwad, Vinod Jadhav and others.
