Another incidence is worth mentioning of my college politics days.It was evening college election.One Lal singh Choudhary of Garhi village near East-of-Kailash colony stood for the college president post and was well known Bahubali ( Don) of his area and he announced that if anybody will file the nomination papers against him then he will either kill him or break every bone of that person's body.
One of my friend Vijay wanted to contest the election but the question was how to go about it because it meant taking risk with his life.He was among top 6 NSUI worker along with me and we had the backing of top most goon of delhi apart from political backing but it was still very dangerous to take on Lal singh Chowdhary. Fortunately his closest friend Kanti was my class mate in school and was my close friend and i told him that i have committed my support to Vijay for the president post and i am going along with him tomorrow to file the nomination papers and my friend Kanti advised me that i should not go since he can't give me any assurance that i will not be attacked.
Next day i along with Vijay went to college and filed his nomination papers.The whole college was surrounded with Lal Singh Chowdhary's goons but my reputation was such that nobody stopped us.Next day Lal Singh Choudhary called me to his place through our common friend Kanti but my friends asked me not to go there but i went ahead to meet him all alone at Garhi village.He has got a towering personality with nearly 6.1/2 feet tall and well built.When i met him,he first congratulated on my bravery and told me that he also want a friend like me and told me that he has taken admission to college only to become president because he is very rich and it is a matter of prestige for Garhi village.I told him that since i have already committed my support to Vijay who is my friend so now i can not back out and no matter what i will support him.Then he told me that now he will not ask me to withdraw our nomination papers but took my promise that till election day neither Vijay nor myself or any of our supporter will enter the college premises for campaigning.I agreed and promised him the same.When i went back to my friends,they were shocked to know about my promise and they questioned me that how we can win election without campaigning? I told them that i have promised that we will not enter the college but we will go to each student's house to get the votes and will explain to them about the situation.
Every body followed the instruction and we won the election.This was the first or i think the only instance when somebody won a College President election without entering the college premises.After the election Lal Singh Chowdhary became not only my close friend but he became close friend of Vijay also.
