With the Left-backed All India Students’ Association (AISA) sweeping the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union polls (JNUSU) and bagging all the top four positions, including the President’s post for the second consecutive year, the Union government is learnt to have been mulling on a proposal to move the prestigious University to Bastar, Chhattisgarh.

Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani released a press statement saying, “The reports that we are mulling to move JNU to Bastar, Chhattisgarh are indeed true. I say this without prejudice that for a university which is consistently true to its far left ideology, the Maoist ruled jungles of Bastar, Chhattisgarh form a natural habitat. It provides a great opportunity for JNU to enable the establishment a utopian system of society and governance that can act as a guiding light for the rest of the country.” “We wish them all the success in their endeavor,” said a beaming Irani.

This news is learnt to have set the cat among the pigeons of the students of JNU – located in 1100 acres of prime land in Delhi. The student union has gone into a huddle on how to oppose this government proposal. This is turning out to be quite a predicament for the far left student body to oppose the move without appearing to despise living in a area controlled by the comrades.

The student union spokesman released a quick statement saying, “This is a fascist government. We oppose fascism.”

Meanwhile, residents and NGOs working for the empowerment of tribals in Bastar have come out strongly against this proposal by the government. “They will make sure more tribals remain uneducated n impoverished. I strongly condemn this,” said NGO worker Pratyasha.

According to the latest reports, some student union leaders have complained of “chest pain” and were admitted to the hospital.
