MPs Use Gen-Z Slang: "Delulu" and "FOMO" in Parliament Reflect Youth Influence
In the Monsoon Session of Parliament, BJP MPs like Bansuri Swaraj and Shrikant Shinde used Gen-Z slang such as "delulu" and "FOMO," reflecting a shift influenced by nationwide protests led by the youth movement Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in May 2026. The protests, triggered by NEET paper leaks, forced Prime Minister Narendra Modi to engage more with young voters on social media, leading to changes in parliamentary language and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. This shift underscores the growing political influence of younger generations.
