Leh, November 4, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday described the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad’s (ABVP) victory in the University of Ladakh Students’ Union elections as a decisive blow to “divisive” and “anarchist” forces in the country.
Congratulating ABVP workers on the victory in a post on X, Shah said the result reaffirmed that nationalism remained the first choice of the younger generation.
“My gratitude to our patriotic young Indians for their unwavering support for nationalism,” he said.
In the results declared on Tuesday, ABVP won five of the eight positions contested in the Ladakh University Students’ Union elections. The elected candidates include Dawa Namgyal as president, Tsering Yangdol as vice president, Stanzin Rigdol as general secretary, Rabskit Dolma as joint secretary and Tenzin Tsewang as sports secretary.
ABVP Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh State Secretary Sannak Shrivats said the victory reflected students’ confidence in the organisation’s commitment to student welfare, academic development and constructive leadership.
“This mandate sends a clear message that Gen Z is with the ABVP and believes in its vision of responsible student leadership,” Shrivats said.
He described the result as a proud moment for the organisation and expressed confidence that the newly elected representatives would address students’ concerns and strengthen the academic environment at the university.
ABVP National Executive Council member Dorjay Namgyal also said the mandate reflected students’ trust in the organisation’s student-centric activities. He acknowledged the efforts of ABVP activists in Ladakh and expressed confidence that the elected representatives would work for students’ welfare, rights and academic interests.
