BJP MP Kangana Ranaut's 'Generation Gutter' remark sparks war of words with CJP

A spokesperson for the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has sharply criticized BJP MP Kangana Ranaut's recent remarks labeling Gen Z as "Generation Gutter." Saurav Das, CJP's spokesperson, stated that neither the younger generation nor even members of Ranaut's own party take her seriously.

“

Even members of her own party don't pay much heed to Kangana Ranaut or take her seriously, so why should we? I don't think anyone in Gen Z, Gen Alpha, or any younger generation takes her seriously or listens to what she says.

Das pointed to Ranaut's own admission about underestimating the workload of a Member of Parliament as evidence of her lack of seriousness. He argued that while Ranaut criticizes Gen Z for being unserious, her own statements reflect a similar attitude towards her responsibilities. He also suggested that politicians should be mindful of their language and uphold the dignity of their office.

“

She is a politician now. There were videos from her visit to her constituency in Himachal Pradesh where she said she had expected the job to involve very little work, only to realise that being a Member of Parliament requires a massive amount of labour. That, in itself, speaks volumes about how seriously she takes her responsibilities.

The CJP spokesperson defended Gen Z, asserting that the generation has contributed more to the country than Ranaut, particularly in restoring faith in India's democracy. Das's comments were a response to Ranaut's criticism of CJP protesters for allegedly using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother during demonstrations at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Ranaut had questioned the character of the students involved, suggesting their parents might not be able to afford legal representation if needed in the future.

“

Our 75-year-old Prime Minister was targeted, and filthy abuse was hurled at his late mother. We, too, have participated in student protests. But what kind of students are these, and what kind of obscene language are they using? In what way do they resemble students?
