Gen Z Has Done More For The Country Than You: CJP Slams Kangana Ranaut
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has criticized BJP MP Kangana Ranaut for her derogatory comments labeling Gen Z protesters as 'Generation Gutter.' The controversy stems from Ranaut's social media posts attacking the character and upbringing of students protesting against the NEET exam paper leak.
Why it matters
The exchange reflects deep-seated political polarization in India and the increasingly hostile rhetoric between elected officials and youth-led protest movements.
Laying into Kangana Ranaut for her "Generation Gutter" remark, the Cockroach Janta Party said the BJP MP lacks seriousness and even people in her own party don't take her seriously.In a post on Instagram on Monday, Ranaut, who was elected from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, had said the language used during the CJP-led protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi and other parts of the country was "puke-inducing" and "crass". She had also questioned the upbringing of the protesters. "Ewww, who is birthing and raising them... India is a place of diversely beautiful people, draped in elegance and rooted in cultural sophistication. You call yourself cockroaches and look/behave like them as well. There is no paradox or juxtaposition there, just simply subjecting the world to your filth, garbage and ugliness. I am scarred from these reels. I need some healing, digital detox."
