Kerala Students Union (KSU) State president Aloysius Xavior on Thursday night started an indefinite hunger strike here demanding repolling of the chairman post at Sree Kerala Varma College, Thrissur.
KSU chairman candidate S. Sreekuttan was initially declared winner by one vote in the college, a Left bastion for more than four decades, in the election held on Wednesday.
However, the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) demanded recounting. SFI candidate K.S. Aniruddhan was declared winner by 11 votes after recounting. The KSU has been protesting since then, alleging malpractice in the counting process.
