Invalid votes
Though elections were held on October 18 counting was delayed due to controversy over the invalid votes.
Objections were raised by the candidates during the counting and the officials decided to constitute a committee to define invalid votes and take up counting based on those guidelines.
However, it is learnt that the ABVP wants to contest the results.
