00:00Today, Brut is at Delhi University's North Campus, where excitement is buzzing ahead
00:12of the Doosu Elections 2024.
00:13What, according to you, are the key issues in this year's Doosu Elections?
00:26Doosu Elections, I don't think Doosu Elections have any motive as per say, because mostly
00:32it is hooliganism.
00:33Cars are coming, pamphlets are being thrown, the condition of the campus is getting worse,
00:37nothing else.
00:38Actually, we are freshers, so we have faced it a couple of times that the washrooms here
00:42are very dirty.
00:43So that is the main topic.
00:45Green campus, clean campus, women empowerment, women's security, campus security.
00:53What are your expectations from the candidates running the Doosu Elections 2024?
00:58To be honest, I don't have a particular opinion about the candidates.
01:02Doosu has become this muscle power election because it's a lot of jingoism and you can
01:08see the posters, you can see the campaigns running around showing the muscle power rather
01:13than focusing on the actual issues.
01:16None, nothing.
01:18I don't believe they could do anything for the campus.
01:20I don't think they have intent of working for the university itself.
01:25They are serving their own purposes.
01:27They do offer alcohol, they do offer food, they offer you that we will make you meet
01:33this person, we will make you meet that person and everything.
01:36But I don't think these things are relevant for me.
01:38At least for me, these things are not relevant, but many students do get influenced by that
01:42also.
01:43What are your thoughts on the use of posters and slogans on campus during the election
01:47campaign?
01:48Well, you can see that this has become a trend.
01:52If you look at any party, throwing these pamphlets is wrong in my opinion.
01:57In the coming time, this is slowly decreasing and it should end.
02:01The election atmosphere here is very dirty.
02:05If you want to campaign, you can do it well by using less paper.
02:10Obviously, people look at the work, people and vote.
02:13These posters are being thrown like this, this is against the guidelines of the DU.
02:17And I am seeing that the election commission is not doing anything about this.
02:22They will have to do something to stop this.
02:24So that if you look here, posters like this have been spread all over the walls, the metro
02:30station has been spread, the entire Chhatra Marg has been spread like this.
02:35This is wrong and there should be student-oriented politics.
02:38Candidates have to reach 90 colleges, so they can't do it without the posters, the campaigns.
02:45It has become a money issue because the poor and the marginalized can't participate in
02:51the elections because of the use of the cars, the posters.
02:55Kind of disappointing to see it in Central University, but it is what it is.
03:01If you could ask one question to the DOSU candidates, what would it be?
03:05And why?
03:06When we are getting a clean washroom.
03:08Why are you investing so much money?
03:11What's your return on investment on it?
03:13What will you do after winning or why did you win?
03:18What is your vision?
03:19Are you standing for the students only or are you working for the administration of the college?
03:23Why do you bring so much money and so many cars?
03:25You can get votes even without a car.
