let me make 1 thing clear 2 all of u that gagneja was not the core team member but directly became the cthead which shows that his experience is much lesser than matah
Digvijay for VP !
and matah did survey in his room/bathroom in azad and all the things he said was wrong(except his intro)
aaabhas bhai.
u missed one thing MR. digvijay was survey only in nehru hall and eletrical dept.
and wht a answer about the dimension of arrena……
*** great poltu
question decided ans decided…….
great !!!!!
Digvijay has experience in hall and societies as well as the core team……Matah is nowhere near to him
Digvijay surveyed in 5 halls
@mathur r u the new paid worker for digvijay
because if he wins ( which is not going to be anyway) then he is going to treat everybody like his maids.
Soc-Cult : Abhimanyu & Kavish
Tech : Akshay & Pranav
I’m in Azad and I’d vote for Diggy so stop the poltu pacts here and watch the SOP video
my top 2 :
Soc-Cult = Mandar & Abhimanyu
Tech = Deepak & Akshay
@Frederick
Digvijay was only informing you about a new rule that department strength of any dep can’t fall below 10%..that’s it… he was only making you aware.. he didn’t promise any thing
@anurag…….ok waht u said….i read it….but the problem is there that i have asked u something reagarding ur sentence which u did’t answer…inspite of that u wrote another long sad story…….we r not here to write stories……and as u said..”And unlike you, I am differentiating my personal preferences and my public request. My personal preference is definitely Digvijay Gagneja, yes. And my public request is to kindly watch the SOP video to make your decision instead of vague and poltufied forums like this here. I believe any sane person would definitely vote for Gagneja after watching the video.”
just read again what u wrote here….u have pointed gagneja name according to ur personal views….as well as…u r saying that….any sane person would definitely vote for gagneja after watching the video……..so how u know this…..let the people decide whom to vote…..and if u r saying this….then definitely this is ur publicity stunt……..shame for this…..
tudu
first of all mind ur language. and if u don’t know about mr.shubham then see the sop video if agin not getting ur answer then ask ur heart and again u r not getting the answer then TERA KUCH NAHI HO SAKTA HAI WE ALL R SORRY FOR U.
speaking about kavish desai
i know him from last 3 years and i strongly believe that he is the best candi for G.Sec soc-cult
he has unlimited cally and a good determiniation
he even made a depc in first yr
i go for sahir……maana uska SOP bahut makh gaya but he is a nice boy….i knw him
“and matah did survey in his room/bathroom in azad and all the things he said was wrong(except his intro)”
haha..lol
on a more serious note….please watch the sop video on dc, try to find out if rumours u have heard r true or not..n thn vote….not by hall pacts or ne crap
“[ScholsAve] VP SOP 2009.avi” @ “magnet:?xt=urn:tree:tiger:7O5LEV7JMTM3DOMP4BP3SI7CEM4GLXFM26FTQHY&xl=614596002&dn=%5BScholsAve%5D+VP+SOP+2009.avi”

STOP YAR
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
we all r not intersted in ur decision
so ….
@ rohit
i just quoted a first yr student hu posted here….n wether he promised anythin or not, the facchas sure seem to think that he convinced he cud make somethin like that happen…
@patel….nice boy se kya hota hai…Sahir’s SOP went really bad as you admitted….his funda was really poor on his proposal
@anony no 167
after reading several posts i find this as the first pactless and non poltu reply
watch the SOP videos…….make your own assessment….let the best candidates win
mr. mathur it clearlly shows that from which hall u r
thanks for this information
@anuj no 171
This is the first and most pactful and poltu reply. Thank you for your great intelligence in showing us how poltu is done like a linked list.
@anony…….yeah u really seem to have chosen fairly & not on any pact…..kudos to you !
@mritunjay
clearly shows kya didn’t you read the above posts?
@mathur
ppl can decide themselves whom to vote for…limit urself to ur campaigning mode….bando ke views pe comment marne ki zaroorat nahi…fanboy mat ban
@ anony…….but really its good to see someone is thinking fairly….really appreciable i must say
I liked Gagneja…and I was there yesterday in the SOP. I am not going to get swayed by the stupid bikeshed discussion going on here.
@ mathur
i have gone throug it
bhai mere keep ur self cool yar
and give ur vote
Bot VPs proposals sucked,if only dey had promised bring bak 2 wheelers
@ mathur
giving chocolates is the cheapest work done ever in the election campiange and this was done by nehru hall , it clearly states that u r frm nehru and just falsifying urself being an AZADIAN, u dont deserve it
true @anuj
bhai anuj
maan le baat… mathur azad ka hai…
for vp i think digvijay was better candidate, Proposal worked out nicely was clear about funding and teams he will be needing them.
wehere as subham’s proposal seemed ki he will render communique useless
@mathur….dude…dude…dude…….here we are presenting our views about candidates…and about SOP…if u r telling that u belong to this and that hall…..this means that u r playing here hall poltu……no one is asking here about u….just concentrate on the main motive of this talk…..if u have something logocal to say about candidates then proceed otherwise peace maao na…….
@tudu …….no hall poltu plzzzzzz
are zapper dost poltu karne walo ko ye bat kaun samjahye akal dhele bhar ki nahi hain
@akshay,
matah didn’t say that he will render communique useless. he said he will let communique work more on improving communication skills in geneal & willl give the specified job of preparing for gd, PI and other job interview requirements to a new society specialized in those aspects
hope u got the point
i think he did !!
Its Clear…
VP: Matah
Soc-Cult : Kavish , Sahir
Tech : Patwardhan, Sumit
Sports : Ankit, Naidu
finally someone talks sense….yo rajiv….couldnt agree with you more
@TSA….plz block such posts….this is is shameless publicity….such pact politics is really dirty….let ppl make their own decision
@ankita
u hit the nail on the head….thankfully, the other candidates are not as shameless to go about playing such dirty propaganda….i respect their dignified stance
rajiv u shuldnt need to do that !
rajiv and amit are right….
VP: Matah
Soc-Cult : Kavish , Sahir
Tech : Patwardhan, Sumit
Sports : Ankit, Naidu
@ tudu and mathur
bhai mere tum log ko itni bhi himmat nahi hai ki apne hall ka nam bolo
aur aise bhi who has asked about ur halls. yar jish hall ke bhi ho why r u behind the azad hall.
shit man
improve ur mentallity
anuj – u and ur candis r totally shameless now…this will not help u
haan bhai…..these ppl r really depserate it seems….lagta hai darr lag raha hai inhe ab…..Matah, Surana, Pranav & the reamining pact……A REALLY POOR ATTITUDE….one must always try and win on one’s merit….not on such pact propaganda
