JAIPUR: When the chief minister Ashok Gehlot was delivering sermons to Congress' students wing, National Students Union of India (NSUI) during the Students' Parliament at Birla Auditorium , the unruly NSUI activists were busy creating ruckus outside the venue.

The situation went out of control when some groups tried to block the road. Police had to use force twice to disperse the activists who became furious when denied entry into the hall.

"When few students groups were denied permission to enter the auditorium hall, they started misbehaving with the commuters. We first appealed to them to either get in the hall or disperse but in vain. Finally, we had to use force twice to regulate traffic and disperse them," said a police officer.

The NSUI activists from across the state had come to Jaipur to attend the Students' Parliament meant to prepare them for the students' union elections but they ended-up causing inconvenience to commuters.

They pasted banners and pamphlets of their self-proclaimed leaders at all major spots in the city and held rallies raising slogans in favour of their candidates while jumping traffic lights at several crossroads.

The event turned out to be a display of strength and wealth by potential candidates who came in fleets of cars along with their accomplices. They were trying to catch attention of the senior leaders who came for the event.

At the parliament, students were told how to plan strategy and influence voters. Amit Bhagasara, state vice president of NSUI said, "It was an enriching experience to learn the winning formula from our seniors."

For those who were denied entry, it was sheer disappointment. Hussain Sultaniya, NSUI leader said, "It was unfortunate. I was denied entry as I came little late."
