NEW DELHI: The RSS-backed National Democratic Teachers' Front candidate AK Bhagi on Thursday retained the post of Delhi University Teachers' Association president, defeating the Democratic United Teachers' Alliance's Aditya Narayan Mishra. Bhagi polled 4,182 votes while Mishra got 3,787.
A total 8,187 of the 9,500 eligible voters exercised their franchise in Wednesday's polls. Bhagi told PTI that his priority is to complete the regularisation scheme and introduce new policies such as the pension scheme and EWS seats. "We are happy and excited to be the winners again. Our priority is to complete the regularisation scheme, which is in the halfway stage. We will also focus on completing the pending work that we started two years ago," Bhagi said.
