Student leaders of today, national leaders of tomorrow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chandigarh: <\/strong>Panjab University campus is abuzz with energy, political tamasha<\/em>, sloganeering, littering and all the other nuances associated with electioneering. In a way, it is a mirror-image of politics at the national level.<\/p>\n

PU has produced the likes of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Sushma Swaraj, Kumari Sejla, Sukhbir Singh Badal, Rajiv Pratap Rudy though all of them were not part of students politics then.<\/p>\n

University elections are the breeding grounds of national leadership and springboards for young leaders to initiate into politics.<\/p>\n

Outsiders are entering the campus freely, loitering around having fun, traffic around the area has gone for a toss, but nobody is complaining. Ofcourse, the police is vigilant and students from outside are being detained and questioned.<\/p>\n

Let us have a look at the presidential candidates of various student organisations.<\/p>\n
