‘Gen-Z Did More for Country Than You’: CJP Hits Back at Kangana Ranaut Over NEET Protest Remarks

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a Gen-Z-led group at the centre of the ongoing NEET paper leak protests, has hit back at actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut after she criticised the movement, saying young protesters had done more for the country than those questioning their campaign. The exchange has added a fresh political dimension to the student-led agitation demanding accountability over examination irregularities.

CJP responds to Kangana Ranaut’s criticism

The CJP took to social media to respond to Ranaut’s comments, accusing her of dismissing genuine concerns raised by students across the country.

The group said the protests were driven by young people seeking transparency and fairness in competitive examinations, rather than by political motives.

In its response, the CJP claimed that Gen-Z protesters had brought attention to issues affecting millions of students and had forced authorities to address concerns that had remained unresolved.

NEET paper leak controversy fuels protests

The controversy began after allegations of irregularities and paper leaks in the NEET-UG examination triggered widespread anger among students and opposition parties.

The protests gained momentum as students demanded action against those responsible and sought reforms to prevent future examination failures.

The CJP, which started as a satirical online movement before turning into a street campaign, became one of the prominent voices during the protests. The group organised demonstrations and used social media platforms to mobilise support among young people.

Political debate intensifies over student movement

The NEET controversy has turned into a major political issue, with opposition parties targeting the central government over the handling of examination systems.

The government has defended its response, stating that strict action is being taken against those involved in paper leaks and that steps are being introduced to strengthen examination security.

The resignation of former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan amid the controversy further intensified political discussions, with opposition leaders calling it a result of sustained public pressure.

CJP says youth voices cannot be ignored

The group said the criticism from political figures would not weaken the movement and argued that young Indians had the right to question institutions affecting their future.

The clash between Ranaut and the CJP highlights the growing political significance of youth-led campaigns, particularly on issues linked to education, employment and government accountability.

As the NEET paper leak controversy continues to dominate public debate, student groups are pushing for long-term reforms in India’s examination system.
