Dibisa Mahanta, the daughter of Assam cabinet minister Keshab Mahanta, has set off a political firestorm after she was videoed joining a student protest in Guwahati and shouting slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Footage circulating on social media shows Mahanta, who holds postgraduate degrees from the University of Edinburgh and SOAS, University of London, chanting alongside activists of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). In one clip, she shouts a vulgar Hindi phrase directed at Modi, the rough translation of which calls him bitter. In another, she chants "We want justice" with the crowd.
The protest on July 23 demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET UG 2026 paper leak scandal. CJP has called that demand non-negotiable.
The problem for Mahanta's father is that the AGP, where he serves as working president, is a senior coalition partner in the BJP-led state government. He has been a minister in Assam since 2016, currently holding the Revenue and Disaster Management, IT, and Science and Technology portfolios.
Facing intense online backlash, Keshab Mahanta told Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma that his daughter was "misled" by her friends and was taken to the protest under the pretext of attending tuition, the Sentinel reported. He repeated that claim on the floor of the Assam Assembly on Friday.
Dibisa Mahanta's Instagram and Facebook profiles have been deactivated or made inaccessible since the videos went viral, according to the Sentinel.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said at a press conference that the government respects the students' demands and that the Prime Minister is "thoroughly looking into" the issue, as reported by NDTV.
CJP protest leader Sonam Wangchuk ended a 26-day hunger strike after receiving government assurances, though the Jantar Mantar protest in Delhi continues.
