The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) registered a major victory in the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections, securing three of the four central panel positions, while the Congress-backed National Students' Union of India (NSUI) failed to win any central posts. The election outcome ignited a political row between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress. The BJP credited the victory to youth faith in the vision of a developed India, while the Congress alleged counting irregularities and demanded an inquiry into malpractice. Concurrently, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addressed students in Indore, alleging that the education system has been captured by the ruling establishment and that central education budget allocations have declined. The bulletin also features reactions from the newly elected DUSU panel members on campus safety and student welfare, alongside an independent candidate who secured a record-breaking victory.

Addressing high-profile departures and warnings from researchers at frontier AI labs, he observed that fears often arise when humanity confronts new, complex technologies. He pointed to historical parallels in computing, such as processor errors and early manual calculation skepticism, to highlight how system trust and reliability build over time.
