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.
