PU Student ElectionsSOPU goes door to door to woo students by Archit Watts
Chandigarh, September 7The Students’ Organisation of Panjab University (SOPU) has started its campaign in a new way this year. The supporters of SOPU are campaigning on cycles and bikes instead of cars. They are going to the houses of students as they found it the best way to meet everyone personally.
Senior leaders of the party, Dalveer Singh Goldy and Gurveer Brar addressed the party workers and told them the achievements and history of the party.
“There are only five days left for the elections and this is the best way for campaigning. Our members are meeting the students personally and telling them our achievements and our manifesto. All this is according to the recommendations of the Lyngdoh Committee,” said Barinder Dhillon, president, SOPU.
Other members are also campaigning in hostels. The girls are also working very hard.
The party is going to announce its panel tomorrow. “We are divided in groups and going to houses, boys’ and girls’ hostels, and sending messages on cell phones and Internet,” added Barinder Dhillon.
Robin Brar, a SOPU activist, said: “This is the right time to approach the students, only a few days are left and we have to cover the whole university.”
