A witty PowerPoint presentation by a Gen Z student has gone viral, offering a sharp and humorous rebuttal to a social media post by the BJP's Chhattisgarh unit. The original post criticized students participating in protests against the NEET-UG paper leak, contrasting them with those who "make people proud."

Your caption game is very weak. Your ChatGPT is not giving you good responses.

— Urwashi PalandurkarCritiquing the BJP's social media post in her PowerPoint presentation.

The BJP's post featured a video of students dancing during the protest, juxtaposed with a student receiving an award from President Droupadi Murmu. The caption questioned which mindset Gen Z would choose. Urwashi Palandurkar, one of the students featured in the protest reel, responded directly to the post, stating her content was used without consent and that she couldn't take the BJP's critique seriously.

I scored 93% marks in both classes 10 and 12.

— Urwashi PalandurkarEmphasizing her academic achievements while defending her participation in protests and extracurricular activities.

Palandurkar's presentation, delivered with candor and sarcasm, critiqued the BJP's captioning and use of language, suggesting their "ChatGPT is not giving you good responses." She dismissed the "Babar ki Virasat" jibe as unrelatable and asserted that "divide and rule" tactics would not work on her generation. Highlighting her academic success, she stated, "I scored 93% marks in both classes 10 and 12," emphasizing that extracurriculars like dancing can coexist with strong academic performance.

You go, girl!

— CJPPraising Urwashi Palandurkar's response.

The student's response garnered significant online praise, with the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) calling her a "legend." Delhi's former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lauded her "positivity," while Lok Sabha Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi shared her video. The protest against the NEET paper leak, in which Palandurkar participated, was called off by the CJP on July 25, following the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

God bless you beta. Loved your positivity.

— Arvind KejriwalCommenting on Urwashi Palandurkar's viral video.
