**BJP President’s Remarks**
Addressing an ‘Intellectuals Meet’ in Ranchi, Nabin stated that while the youth of India aspire to contribute positively to the nation’s development and secure their future, certain individuals have labeled them as “anti-establishment.” He emphasized that some people, particularly those residing abroad, believe they can dictate the direction of India’s youth. Nabin asserted, “But India’s youth will not move forward as puppets in the hands of a few people.” ([hindustantimes.com](https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/bjp-chief-takes-a-puppets-dig-as-cockroach-protest-sets-a-7-day-deadline-for-minister-to-resign-101780760567755.html?utm_source=openai))
