From Delulu to FOMO, Gen Z lingo spices up Lok Sabha NEET debate

During a debate in the Lok Sabha regarding an anti-paper leak amendment bill related to the NEET-UG 2026 exam scandal, Indian lawmakers used Gen Z slang such as 'delulu,' 'FOMO,' 'MIA,' and 'clock it.' These terms, typically associated with social media, were employed by members of both the ruling BJP and opposition parties to critique each other. Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde accused the Opposition of being 'MIA' initially, experiencing 'FOMO,' and later becoming 'delulu' (delusional). BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for addressing the NEET crisis, stating he 'clocked it'—a Gen Z term meaning recognizing a problem. BJP MP Tejasvi Surya similarly called the Opposition 'delulu' for assuming young voters supported them due to the paper leak issue. Meanwhile, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra emphasized that appealing to Gen Z required genuine efforts beyond superficial tactics, while Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav criticized the government for its handling of the situation. Some lawmakers, including NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule, argued that the debate should focus on substantive issues rather than Gen Z lingo.
