Rain and mood of holidays have overtaken the Delhi University Students Union(DUSU) elections on Friday. As the candidates had apprehension the voting percentage has not crossed even 40% mark in the election. Though the official announcement in this regard yet to be made but according to the reports received from various colleges, voting was below last year’s average in the morning colleges.
