Useless and unemployed: Kangana Ranaut's swipe at CJP spokesperson Saurav Das
Kangana Ranaut launched a fresh attack on CJP spokesperson Saurav Das and questioned his claim of being a student. In an earlier interview, Das had questioned her credibility and defended Gen-Z.
BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut has intensified her criticism of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), calling its spokesperson Saurav Das "useless and unemployed" in a series of Instagram Stories. The remarks came just a few hours after Das criticised Kangana over her controversial comments on Gen-Z and the CJP-led NEET-UG 2026 protests.
On Tuesday, Kangana Ranaut shared a screenshot of Das's recent ANI interview and questioned his claim of being a student.
"Googled this person, and he is 28 years old, how he claims to be a student I have no clue (sic)," she wrote. The actor, 40, then defended her own achievements, saying she had already won two National Awards by the time she was Das's age.
"Yes, I am in politics for the past two years, but I have been in public life for the last 20 years. At his age, I had two National Awards. As a new parliamentarian, I was overwhelmed with work because I am also a filmmaker, performing artist, producer, screenwriter and entrepreneur (sic)," she continued.
Ranaut went on to call Das "totally useless and unemployed", adding, "He will never understand what it means to be in massive demand at all times. Dear Saurav, your issues are personal. You are not a student, you are simply useless. Let's start with learning some skill (sic)."

In an earlier Instagram Story, Ranaut had criticised videos from the CJP protests, describing them as "puke-inducing".
"Never in my life have I seen so much ugliness in one place. The way they speak and the kind of language they use. You call yourselves cockroaches and look and behave like them as well (sic)," she wrote, adding that she needed a "digital detox" after watching the clips.
Earlier today, the actor-MP also shared a Story criticising the damage caused to public property during the protest. She schooled the protestors for their "filthy Reels" and asked for accountability.

What prompted Kangana's response?
Ranaut's remarks came after Das dismissed her criticism of the CJP and questioned how seriously she is taken as a politician.
Speaking to ANI, Das said, "Even members of her own party do not 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."
Referring to Ranaut's earlier comments about her role as an MP, Das said she had herself admitted that she underestimated the responsibilities that came with public office.
He also criticised her choice of words, adding, "Gen Z has done more for this country than her and is continuing to do so."
Here's the interview clip:
Saurav Das is an investigative journalist by profession. According to his LinkedIn profile, he studied Journalism and Mass Communication and began his professional writing career in 2020. His profile also states that he is working on a book examining the role of the Indian judiciary in the country's democratic institutions.
How the Kangana vs Saurav row began
This is not the first time Kangana Ranaut has targeted the CJP. Over the past few weeks, she has repeatedly criticised the organisation and its supporters over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak protests, questioning both their methods and the language used during demonstrations.
She also defended Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre's handling of the controversy after former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. Ranaut backed the government's education reforms and welcomed the formation of a high-powered committee to strengthen the examination system.
The CJP, in turn, accused Ranaut of trivialising the movement and responded by saying that even leaders within her own party did not take her remarks seriously.
The Cockroach Janata Party emerged at the centre of nationwide protests over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. The month-long agitation eventually led to the resignation of former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan after the Centre accepted several demands raised by the group, including compensation for affected families and the withdrawal of FIRs against protesters.
While the protests have ended, the public sparring between Ranaut and CJP leaders has continued online, with both sides trading barbs over the movement and its aftermath.
