The Story in Brief
BJP MP Kangana Ranaut on Friday praised Gen Z as India's 'biggest strength' and 'ambassadors of culture,' days after calling protesters 'generation gutter.' Speaking outside Parliament, she credited RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's wisdom for her change of heart. Bhagwat had said Thursday that young protesters should not be labelled anti-national.
Ranaut had sparked outrage with videos calling Gen Z protesters 'puke inducing' and 'crass.' She specifically targeted young Hindu women, calling them 'westernised' and 'generation gutter.' Her U-turn comes as she prepares to defend the government's record on youth issues.
The Indian Opinion
First, Ranaut shames Gen Z as gutter. Then, after Bhagwat says hear them out, she calls them strength. Is this conviction or submission to the RSS diktat? Either way, it shows Indian politicians treat youth as a photo-op, not a constituency. The test: Will she now meet the same Jantar Mantar protesters she called cockroaches?
