AISA President Neha Bora emerged as a key face in the NEET-UG paper leak protest. She gained national recognition with her 23-day hunger strike and unique social media presence.
Neha Bora played a significant role in this movement, which was led by the 'Cockroach Janta Party'. She sat on a hunger strike under the AISA banner at Jantar Mantar and remained firm on her demands.
Neha undertook a 23-day hunger strike, which shows her strong determination. This long hunger strike also affected her health.
According to information, she lost about 7.5 kg during this period, and her blood sugar level had also dropped to a dangerous level.
As soon as the news of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation came on July 25, a celebratory atmosphere took over Jantar Mantar.
During this time, Neha Bora and her fellow students were seen dancing to songs from the film 'Dil Se'. Neha also shared a video of this on social media.
She quoted the famous revolutionary activist Emma Goldman, writing, 'If I can't dance, it's not my revolution!'
Even amidst this difficult hunger strike, Neha continued her sharp 'dark humor' in Gen-Z style through her Instagram Reels.
In a popular reel, she compared her hunger for food to the central government's 'hunger for power', which attracted a lot of attention.
Raised in Uttarakhand, Neha Bora is also a theater artist. She graduated from Delhi University and completed her post-graduation from Ambedkar University.
Currently, she is a PhD scholar at JNU's 'School of Arts and Aesthetics'.
Just a few hours before Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation and the end of the movement, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, held a press conference.
During this, three young women activists were present on stage with Rahul Gandhi, including Neha Bora, Danish Ali, and Anjali.
