A city so exquisite

Former deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma reminisces about the past elections at Lucknow University (LU) and how they were conducted without violence. He recalls how a poem and an injured candidate helped the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) win against a stronger opponent. Sharma also discusses the changes that have occurred in LU over the years, from a campus filled with violence to a magnet for academics. He shares memories of his time as a commerce teacher and the social dynamics of the university. Sharma concludes by praising the city of Lucknow for its rich culture and history.
