BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has landed in another controversy after her comments on Gen Z protesters sparked a sharp response from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).
Kangana had described the protesters as “Generation Gutter” and said they behaved like cockroaches. She also claimed their language was “crass” and questioned their upbringing. Her remarks quickly triggered criticism on social media and from opposition leaders.
Responding to Kangana, CJP spokesperson Saurav Das said her comments were not worth taking seriously. He claimed that even leaders in the BJP do not pay much attention to her statements, so there was no reason for the younger generation to do so. He added that Kangana was trying to insult an entire generation instead of addressing the real issues being raised by students.
Das also took a dig at Kangana by reminding people of her own statement after becoming an MP. He said Kangana herself had admitted that she thought the job of an MP would be easy but later realised it required a lot of hard work. According to him, this showed her own lack of seriousness, even as she was calling Gen Z an “unserious generation.”
The CJP leader went on to praise Gen Z, saying today’s young people have done more for the country than Kangana. He said students had worked to protect democratic values and raise their voices peacefully over important issues. He argued that instead of insulting them, political leaders should respect their concerns.
The party also criticised Kangana’s choice of words and said public representatives should maintain dignity while speaking. According to CJP, an elected MP should avoid making personal attacks and focus on solving people’s problems.
The war of words comes amid the nationwide protests over the NEET controversy. CJP has been one of the key groups leading the movement, demanding accountability from the government. Kangana’s remarks have now added a fresh political controversy to the ongoing protests.
