Elections to the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) are due on Friday and for the first time, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will not only contest the polls, but also bring its own brand of campaigning.

DUSU elections have never been a staid affair and have produced national leaders as Arun Jaitley from the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and Ajay Maken from the Congress. But the Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Samiti, AAP's student wing, made its debut by holding a rock concert for voters featuring celebrities like singer Shilpa Rao and composer Vishal Dadlani.The Congress is spluttering with rage and the BJP is less than impressed.

Not much is expected from the Congress. But if the BJP does badly in a university where the original rock star was Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who inaugurated his campaign to become PM with a talk in DU which got a rapturous response, it will show how much help the party needs.
