Saurav Das, the chief spokesperson of the Cockroach Janta Party, said members of BJP MP Kangana Ranaut's own party do not take her seriously [1].
The comments highlight growing tensions and the perception of internal friction within the political landscape regarding Ranaut's public influence.
Das spoke on the matter during an appearance on The Print, where he questioned the validity of Ranaut's statements based on the reaction of her colleagues. He said that if those closest to her in the political sphere disregard her views, the general public should do the same [1].
"Even members of her own party don't pay much heed to Kangana Ranaut or take her seriously, so why should we?" Das said [1].
Das addressed the impact of Ranaut's rhetoric on younger demographics. He said that her message fails to resonate with those in Gen Z and Gen Alpha, the youngest cohorts of the electorate [1].
"I don't think anyone in Gen Z, Gen Alpha, or any younger generation takes her seriously or listens to what she says," Das said [1].
The spokesperson's remarks focus on the disconnect between Ranaut's public persona and her standing among her peers and the youth. By framing her as an isolated voice, Das said he aimed to diminish the weight of her political contributions and public declarations [1].
“"Even members of her own party don't pay much heed to Kangana Ranaut or take her seriously, so why should we?"”
This exchange reflects a strategy by opposition figures to undermine a political opponent by claiming a lack of internal party support and a failure to connect with youth voters. By targeting Ranaut's credibility among Gen Z and Gen Alpha, the Cockroach Janta Party is attempting to frame her as irrelevant to the future electorate.
