A student has responded in a unique way to a social media post by the Chhattisgarh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) about dancing during the student protests against the NEET-UG paper leak and other exam irregularities. The student’s video is rapidly going viral on social media and has received praise from several political leaders and organizations.
This student is Urvashi Palandurkar, who participated in the student protests against the NEET paper leak. Urvashi responded to the BJP’s post with a PowerPoint presentation (PPT). Her response is widely discussed on social media.
What did the BJP post?
On Thursday, the Chhattisgarh unit of the BJP shared a video on social media. The video showed some Gen Z students dancing and making a reel during the student protests. On the other hand, a student was shown receiving an award from President Draupadi Murmu. Along with the video, the BJP wrote, “Which Gen Z thinking will you choose?” The post also included the comment “dancing on Babur’s legacy.”
Hours after the BJP’s post surfaced, Urvashi Palandurkar, the student seen in the video, responded. She stated that her video was used without her permission. Urvashi responded to the matter in a light-hearted and sarcastic manner, saying she couldn’t take the post seriously.
How did Urvashi respond?
Urvashi shared her opinion on the BJP’s post’s caption and the words used in it through a PowerPoint presentation. She began her video by saying, “Your caption game is very weak. Your ChatGPT isn’t giving you good answers.”
She then questioned the comment about “Babur’s legacy.”
Urvashi said that such things no longer connect with people and that the politics of “divide and rule” won’t work in 2026.
She also said that the generation (Gen Z) that taught members of Parliament words like “Clocked it,” “FOMO,” “MIA,” and “Delulu” cannot be influenced by such slogans.
Urvashi stated in her video that she scored 93 percent in both 10th and 12th grades. She added that studies and extracurricular activities like dance can be pursued simultaneously.
What is the reaction on social media?
Urvashi’s video quickly went viral on social media. The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) responded to her video, writing, “You go, girl!” Meanwhile, CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke called Urvashi a “legend.” Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also commented on the video, writing, “God bless you beta. Loved your positivity.” Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, also shared Urvashi’s video on social media.
How did Urvashi come into the limelight?
Urvashi Palandurkar was among thousands of students who participated in the student movement against the NEET-UG paper leak and other exam irregularities. This movement was led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). Hours after the resignation of then-Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on July 25, the CJP announced the end of the movement. However, the organization also stated that if police action against protesters continued, it would launch a larger and new movement.
