Neha Bora has faced intense scrutiny and criticism from the BJP due to her praise for Bangladesh’s student-led protests and her high-visibility appearances alongside Rahul Gandhi, with the BJP alleging a potential plot to orchestrate regime change.
Neha Bora is the national president of the All India Students' Association (AISA) and a PhD student at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). She completed her schooling across various cities and holds a graduation degree from Delhi University followed by a post-graduation from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University.
Her growing prominence alongside Rahul Gandhi and participation in joint INDIA bloc events signal a strategic effort by the Congress party to connect with youth voters and fill a void in student leadership. However, her remarks on social media have also occasionally triggered backlashes and debates among party supporters.
