When SFI lost the vice president and general secretary post at Jawaharlal Nehru University to AISA of CPI(ML) then every one thought CPM is loosing grounds due to Singur and Nandigram. But really CPM is losing ground in the good book of people? Not really, the student union elections held in the state in a recent times tells a different story. In a Student Union election at Andul Prabhu Jagabandhu College of Howrah, SFI retain its 23 seats plus they have increased their number to 33. In the last election SFI won 23 seats while the opposition had 10 seats. This time all the opposition student union forces teamed up to defeat SFI candidates. TMC student wing, CP, and DSO united alliance contested with SFI. SFI retains all the seats of last elections as well as they snatch 10 more seats from the combined alliance. It seems CPM's industrialization policy help them to win student union election.
