Walking out of Gate Number 4 of the Vishwavidyalaya metro station, students are met with a familiar sight during Delhi University’s election season: pamphlets and posters carrying the names and ballot numbers of ABVP, NSUI and other candidates.

Newslaundry found that some of the posters being used for canvassing appear handwritten but are actually printed on low-quality paper. Printing shops told us that thousands of such copies can be produced for a relatively low cost.
