BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut has launched a strong attack on the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-backed agitation over the NEET paper leak controversy, expressing disgust at videos circulating from the protests.

In a post on Instagram, Ranaut said she was disturbed by what she described as the behaviour and language displayed in the footage emerging from the demonstrations. She claimed she had rarely witnessed such a level of "ugliness" in one place and criticised the protesters for what she called crude and offensive conduct.

Ranaut questioned the language used by those participating in the agitation and said the scenes shown in the videos were jarring and distasteful.

She also criticised the group's choice of name, referring to the CJP's self-description as "cockroaches". Ranaut argued that the group's identity and the behaviour shown in the videos were consistent with what she characterised as a display of disorder and vulgarity.

The BJP MP contrasted this with her description of India as a country known for cultural traditions, diversity and elegance. She said watching the protest-related videos had left her disturbed and that she needed time away from digital platforms to recover from the experience.

Ranaut Targets Opposition Over Exam Reform Bill

Ranaut also turned her criticism towards Opposition parties over disruptions in Parliament during the introduction of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026.

Speaking to reporters, she accused Opposition MPs of deliberately preventing Parliament from functioning and alleged that political differences were being prioritised over legislation related to examination reforms.

Ranaut claimed that the Opposition had opposed the introduction of the proposed legislation, which seeks to strengthen measures against unfair practices and examination-related malpractice.

She argued that the public should take note of the Opposition's position and alleged that lawmakers were attempting to block government business because they had failed to secure the electoral mandate.

The comments came amid a broader political confrontation between the government and Opposition over the proposed examination law and allegations concerning police action against student protesters.

The government's attempt to advance legislation aimed at tackling examination malpractice has coincided with continuing political tensions surrounding the NEET paper leak controversy and the nationwide protests led by the CJP.
