Neha Bora

Delhi has stepped up security ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party’s proposed “Lehra Do Tiranga” march at Central Park in Connaught Place. More than 25,000 police and paramilitary personnel, additional CCTV surveillance and prohibitory orders have been reported as authorities prepare for the demonstration.

AISA president Neha Bora’s prominent presence alongside Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra during the Opposition’s March for Democracy has triggered questions within Congress circles, particularly the NSUI. The episode has renewed debate over the party’s relationship with Left organisations, student politics and its efforts to broaden the opposition’s support base.

Rahul Gandhi and Neha Bora are featured in a march towards the Supreme Court amid the political dispute over the Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The development comes as Opposition leaders seek scrutiny of electoral procedures and raise concerns about alleged irregularities in the revision process

A political controversy surrounding AISA national president Neha Bora has expanded from her remarks about Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to a wider debate over protest, political criticism and freedom of expression.

Hundreds of protesters were detained in Delhi during demonstrations demanding action against CEC Gyanesh Kumar over concerns surrounding the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. AISA, opposition parties and civil society groups joined the protests, while the Election Commission maintains that voter-list revision is part of its statutory responsibilities.
