Rahul Gandhi Slams Kangana Ranaut's Anti-Farmer Remarks

Rahul Gandhi criticized Kangana Ranaut’s comments on the farmers' protest, calling them 'shameful' and an 'insult' to the farming community. Ranaut suggested a Bangladesh-like situation was avoided due to strong leadership, alleging foreign involvement in the protest. The BJP distanced itself from her statements.

Rahul Gandhi didn't mince words as he condemned Kangana Ranaut's comments on the farmers' protest, labeling them 'shameful' and a 'grave insult' to farmers in western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and the entire country.

Ranaut's remarks, made during an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, suggested that India narrowly avoided a Bangladesh-like crisis due to strong national leadership. She further alleged that bodies were hanging and rapes occurred during the now-repealed farm laws protest, implicating China and the US in a conspiracy.

The BJP clarified in a statement that Ranaut's views do not represent the party. They expressed disagreement with her remarks and stated that she is not authorized to speak on the party's policy issues.
