Deepika steals the show in Open House



Chandigarh, September 3: INSO-SOPU panel Secretary Candidate Miss Deepika Thakur stole the show in open house debate today. In her fiery 10 minute speech, she raised the issues of girls’ participation in the students’ politics, the misplaced priorities in absence of planning committee and non-participation of students in national/international conferences. She said that students should decide on what is required in the University students, which made all students applause.
The crowd went into cheers, when Miss Deepika asked them whether they want Rose Garden or 100 computers, whether they want the bridge on students centre or the hostels, whether they want halogen lights in lawns or chemicals in labs. The students replied that they want computers, hostels and chemical in labs.
Miss Deepika referred to yahoo & Google search engines & asked students to search her name & other contestants for the secretary posts. Truth about their contribution will come out and help you in making a decision for the right choice, she added.
In her answers to questions put to her, Miss Deepika Thakur said that planning committee would formulate policies & priorities of the university as per the needs of the University. In another reply to the question on the mode of arranging participation in national & international conferences, she said that a separate student’s corner will be created on the PU website in which all the invitations received by the university would be compulsorily displayed. To another query, Miss Deepika said that PUWF has been planned as a purely non-political platform of the girls and she has never intended to use it politically. Her answers were widely appreciated by the students.
INSO-SOPU panel presidential candidate Mr Amit Bhatia spoke in chaste Punjabi. He took PUSU to task for its violence, inefficiency and incompetency. He also promised to fulfil the INSO-SOPU alliance manifesto. Mr Amit’s speech was also highly appreciated by the students as sloganeering followed throughout his speech.
INSO-SOPU supporters outnumbered the opponents. A head count at the open house, which is the most visible show of strength a day before the elections, pointed towards INSO-SOPU alliance being the clear frontrunner in the race for the four posts.
