Bhubaneswar: Union Home Minister Amit Shah extended his congratulations to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) following their impressive win in the Odisha Student Union elections, asserting that the outcome reflects the youth’s commitment to the ‘Nation First’ philosophy.

In a message shared on X, Shah expressed, “Heartfelt congratulations to all the karyakartas of @abvpodisha for achieving a resounding victory in the Odisha Student Parliament elections.”

He connected the success in Odisha to the ABVP’s recent achievements at Punjab University and Delhi University, noting, “First Punjab University, then Delhi University, and now in 13 universities of Odisha, this victory of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad clearly conveys the message that the youth power of the country is firmly aligned not with the powerful forces that spread falsehoods, illusions, and chaos, but with the ‘Nation First’ ideology.”

Shah further remarked, “This result is a stern response to the anti-national forces,” emphasizing the ideological significance of the elections.
