Jaipur: It has been close to a month since the Rajasthan University Students' Union (RUSU) elections ended, but the students' politics refuses to die down.
On Monday, the vice-chancellor secretariat was again besieged by agitating student leaders. Lead by Mahendra Singh Rathore and Shyam Meena, they started laying siege outside the VC secretariat in the morning and demanded action against chief proctor RL Godara and Dean of Student's Welfare RD Gurjar for their alleged casteist remarks against some students.
Later in the day, angry student leaders declared an indefinite hunger strike demanding action against the officials and cancelling the suspension of various student leaders last week.
The group of students claimed that the officials who called them to resolve the issue of alleged malpractice in the RUSU elections addressed some students in a casteist way and allegedly asked them to not contest elections in future. The enraged students have lodged a complaint against the university officials in the ST-SC cell on Monday.
As the information reached other students, they started agitating in front of the VC secretariat and the police had a tough time controlling the crowd. No university official was present during the agitation and senior police officials were seen pacifying the student leaders.
Notably, the grievance cell of the university is enquiring the various cases of alleged irregularities committed in the RUSU elections and has convened few meetings in past which ended without any conclusive action.
When contacted about the time frame required to make their decision in the cases of alleged irregularities, the dean of student's welfare informed that the process was underway and that he could not commit on a time frame during which the enquiry would be concluded.
