The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has officially distanced itself from comments made by Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut concerning the farmers' agitation. The party clarified that her statements do not reflect its official stance and stressed that she does not have the authority to make such remarks on policy issues.

'The statement made by BJP MP Kangana Ranaut in the context of the farmers' movement is not the opinion of the party. Bharatiya Janata Party expresses disagreement with the statement made by Kangana Ranaut. On behalf of the party, Kangana Ranaut is neither permitted nor authorized to make statements on party policy issues,' the BJP stated in a release.
