Kangana Ranaut vs CJP: 'Generation Gutter' row erupts over NEET protests
BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut attacked the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)‑led student protests against alleged NEET‑UG examination irregularities, calling the protest videos “puke‑inducing” and labeling the demonstrators “Generation Gutter”. She said the protests used “obscene language” and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother had been subjected to abusive remarks. Ranaut announced she would take a digital detox, saying she was “scarred” by the reels.
CJP spokesperson Saurav Das replied, defending the young protesters, claiming Gen Z had contributed more to the country than Ranaut and that even members of her own party did not take her seriously. Das also questioned Ranaut’s claim of being a student, noting he was 28 years old. The exchange follows the larger NEET‑UG paper‑leak movement that forced Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign.
