Kolkata, March 28 The anti-SFI students' unions continued their winning streak at Jadavpur University today with We the Independents (WTI) winning the science faculty elections.

The elections of the science faculty were held on March 25.

This year, one class representative has been nominated for 30 students. All the four office-bearers won by a massive margin.

Winning with a margin of 511 votes, Debagnik Dasgupta was designated as vice-president of the union. Debojyoti Saha, a second-year undergraduate student of Geology, was elected general secretary and Sayan Dutta was elected assistant general secretary (day).

In both the cases, the winning margin was over 450 votes.

Mohammed Asrafuddin, a first-year postgraduate student of Chemistry, was elected assistant general secretary (evening).

After the results were announced, jubilant WTI supporters organised a victory rally on campus. Compared to last year, this year's elections were quite peaceful. Last year, the campus was rocked by violence between anti-SFI students' unions and the CPM-backed Karmachari Samsad.

The elections of the engineering faculty will be held on March 31.
