BAPSA seeks to Democratize JNU with Diverse Panel of Dalit, Adivasi, OBC, Queer, Muslim and Disabled

In this enlightening interview, we delve into the perspectives of Biswajit Minji, Mohamed Anas, Priyanshi Arya, and Rupak Kumar, all contesting in the JNU Student Union Election under the banner of BAPSA (Birsa Ambedkar Phule Students Association). As the JNU Student Union Election approaches on March 22nd, after a prolonged hiatus of four years, BAPSA's presence is felt strongly, advocating for the oppressed unity they represent.

BAPSA's panel comprises candidates from diverse backgrounds, including caste, gender, and religion, symbolizing a commitment to inclusivity. Biswajit Minji, the first Adivasi presidential candidate fielded by BAPSA, speaks passionately about the organization's dedication to advocating for the Bahujans, the exploited, and the deprived, striving not only for social justice but also for social transformation.

Pramod Sagar, President of BAPSA, reflects on the organization's tireless efforts in ensuring the representation of Bahujan students' issues, even during the absence of elections. BAPSA stands as a formidable third front amidst the binary politics of left and right-wing ideologies, advocating staunchly for social justice, democracy, and constitutional values.

Addressing the surge in campus violence, particularly affecting Bahujan students, Sagar emphasizes the urgent need for true representation and inclusivity. Biswajit Minji echoes this sentiment, stressing BAPSA's commitment to fighting against the prevailing Manuwadi ideology and the politics of violence.

In the face of the campus's political landscape dominated by left and right-wing factions, Minji calls for a shift in perspective, urging the Left to relinquish their paternalistic stance and embrace a politics that truly reflects the concerns and struggles of the marginalized communities.

Join us as we explore the narrative of BAPSA's struggle for representation and social justice within the dynamic arena of JNU's student politics.
