BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has retracted her comments advocating for the return of the repealed farm laws, causing a significant political row. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) quickly distanced itself from her remarks, emphasizing that her views do not represent the party's stance.

The Congress party seized the opportunity to criticize the ruling BJP, demanding Ranaut's expulsion and pressing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an explanation. Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, condemned Ranaut's statements and highlighted the BJP's inconsistent stance on the farm laws.

This controversy comes at a critical time, with Haryana, a state affected by the farm laws protests and now in the middle of election campaigns, feeling the repercussions of Ranaut's remarks. BJP spokespersons reiterated that the party does not support Ranaut's stance, aiming to mitigate the political damage.
