When the daughters of two prominent BJP leaders publicly sided with student protesters, it sparked an unexpected family vs. party drama. In Assam, Dibisa Mahanta, daughter of Revenue Minister Keshab Mahanta, was filmed at a protest demanding the then-Union Education Minister’s resignation. Her father’s colleague, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, backed him; saying "children don’t always listen"; and urged everyone to focus on floods, not politics. In Odisha, MP Aparajita Sarangi’s daughter, Archita, didn’t just protest; she posted online: "I am with the students. This is democracy." Her mom’s office didn’t shut her down. In fact, they backed her right to speak. What’s really interesting? Two daughters. Two states. Same protest. Same party. But completely different reactions from the establishment. One dad gets shielded. The other’s daughter gets a silent green light. It’s not just about NEET anymore. It’s about how politics handles dissent; even when it comes from within the family. And that’s something no policy briefing can prepare you for.
