In a moment that perfectly encapsulates the detached, tone-deaf arrogance of BJP’s celebrity recruits, kangana ranaut — actress-turned-MP — laughed off a journalist’s question about the mass exodus of indians renouncing citizenship over the last decade with a casual: “We already have lots of population, it is good that people are leaving.” 


Over 10 lakh indians have formally given up citizenship in the past 10 years, with numbers spiking under the current regime — doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, scientists chasing opportunities abroad because india offers them stagnant wages, toxic air, crumbling infrastructure, and zero future. 


Yet here’s a sitting lok sabha mp, handpicked by the bjp, treating their departure like population control policy and giggling about it. This isn’t just cluelessness; it’s contempt for the very citizens her party claims to serve. While Modi jets around the world begging NRIs for investment, his own mp celebrates the brain drain that’s bleeding india dry. This is the quality of “leadership” the bjp parades in Parliament.



  1. Record exodus under BJP’s watch — Over 10 lakh indians renounced citizenship in the last decade, with 2022 alone seeing 2.25 lakh departures — the highest ever. These aren’t “extra population”; they’re IIT/IIM graduates, doctors, tech wizards who pay massive taxes abroad while india loses their talent forever.



  2. Kangana laughs while youth flee — Young professionals cite lack of jobs, poor work culture, pollution, safety concerns, and low salaries as reasons. Her response? A smug emoji and “good that they’re leaving.” Imagine telling your own voters their dreams are a burden on the nation.



  3. BJP created the push factors — 10 years of erratic policies, demonetisation trauma, farm law chaos, oxygen shortages, and unemployment rates hitting 45-year highs. No wonder skilled indians are voting with their passports — yet kangana thinks it’s a natural population trim.



  4. Celebrity MPs, zero empathy — BJP’s obsession with fielding bollywood faces over grassroots workers has gifted us leaders who treat serious national issues like movie dialogues. Kangana’s flippant remark proves the party values star power over substance.



  5. NRIs fund india, but kangana doesn’t care — Remittances hit $111 billion in 2023, propping up our economy. Many renounce citizenship for practical reasons yet still send money home. Kangana’s logic: let them go, we have “lots of population” left to exploit.



  6. Brain drain = national suicide — Countries like Canada, Australia, UK actively court Indian talent. We lose innovators who build unicorns abroad while india begs for FDI. kangana celebrates this loss like it’s a win for family planning.



  7. Same party that cries “anti-national” — When students protest unemployment, they’re labelled tukde-tukde. When citizens legally leave for better lives, a bjp mp mocks them. Hypocrisy level: Himalayan.



  8. Population isn’t the problem — governance is — India’s demographic dividend is turning into a demographic disaster because the bjp can’t create quality jobs or livable cities. Instead of fixing that, kangana shrugs and says, “good they’re leaving.”



  9. From Manipur to brain drain, same callousness — Whether it’s ethnic violence ignored or talented youth fleeing, the bjp elite’s response is either silence or smug dismissal. Kangana’s laugh is the soundtrack of a party that’s stopped caring about ordinary aspirations.



  10. Time to ask the real question — If bjp keeps fielding insensitive, out-of-touch celebrities who treat citizens’ pain as punchlines, how long before even the loyal voter base starts thinking: maybe we should leave too? Demand better representatives — or watch India’s best and brightest keep walking out the door while clowns occupy the stage.
