She further claimed that neither the BJP nor the Congress is worried about the issues of the students and Gen Zs. They are just looking for electoral gains and their politics.

She also accused Congress of hijacking recent student protests organised by Cockroach Janta Party at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi. She said that a similar condition was emerging in Ranchi, where students and youths were protesting over their issues, but it was later “hijacked” by the BJP and its allies.

“Delhi’s Jantar Mantar student and youth movement and now the movement in Ranchi… we are seeing more politics in their garb,” the BSP supremo said, alleging that neither the ruling nor the opposition parties were showing seriousness towards resolving the problems of the youth.

She urged Gen Z protestors to beware of both ruling and opposition parties and use them cautiously to get their issues resolved instead of allowing political parties to exploit their protestors for political gains.
