The caption accompanying the video added to the playful, season-based framing, suggesting that the familiar faces were ready to be back in the spotlight.Watch the video here: The post received excited reactions from viewers, with some praising the trio as a lineup without a weak character. Others called the combination unexpected and wished them luck, while also expressing hope that they would remain safe.The video comes ahead of the CJP’s planned October 10 protest at Jantar Mantar. Unlike the July agitation, which centred on the NEET-UG paper leak and demands for accountability in the education system, the latest protest was planned around demands for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over controversial voter-roll revisions.The Election Commission has maintained that the revisions are part of its electoral-roll verification process, while critics have raised concerns about the removal of voters’ names.Delhi Police denied permission for the planned gathering, citing concerns over public order and procedural compliance.As the CJP returned to the spotlight for a new round of protests, Bisht’s video brought attention back to the young faces whose reels had become part of the online story surrounding the July demonstrations.- Ends
