Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, now a Parliamentarian, is often in the limelight for her controversial remarks. The Bharatiya Janata Party had to distance itself from the actress’ comments.
Very recently, the saffron party denounced its Lok Sabha MP and film actress Kangana Ranaut for her disparaging remarks on the farmer’s agitation. Moreover, the party went on to the extent that it not only expressed disagreement with her views but also made clear that she was neither permitted nor authorized to comment on the party’s policy matter.

In a video shared on microblogging platform X, the Bollywood actress alleged that “bodies were seen hanging and rapes were taking place” during the farmer’s protest against the now-repealed farm laws.
She also alleged the involvement of China and the US in the “conspiracy”.
This was not the first time, the actress commented on the farmer’s protest or made some controversial statements.
Here are the top 5 problematic statements made by BJP MP Kangana Ranaut:
Independence Day
While participating in an annual summit of the national media network, Kangana talked about India’s freedom struggle. “Who azaadi nahi thi, woh bheek thi. Aur jo azaadi mili hai woh 2014 mai mili hai (That wasn’t freedom; those were alms. We (Indians) got real freedom in 2014)”.
India’s First Prime Minister
While speaking at a Times Now event, she claimed Subash Chandra Bose was India’s first Prime Minister and not Jawaharlal Nehru. Later the claim resulted in a huge uproar, thus to defend her claim she said that Bose had declared himself as the prime minister in 1943, when his INA was fighting British rule in India.
Rahul Gandhi
When leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi claimed to have been ‘insulted’ and ‘abused’ by BJP’s Anurag Thakur in the Lok Sabha, Kangana shared an old video of the Congress MP invoking caste in public meetings. Kangana wrote about Rahul Gandhi, “You know nothing of your own caste, your grandfather is Muslim, grandmother Parsi, mummy Christian and it feels like someone tempered pasta with curry leaves to make rice and lentils, but he wants to know everyone’s caste”.
Farmers Protest
When international popstar Rihanna tweeted in support of the protests, Kangana referred to the demonstrators as “terrorists” saying that they were trying to divide India. Further, she called the singer a “fool”.
“No one is talking about it because they are not farmers they are terrorists who are trying to divide India, so that China can take over our vulnerable broken nation and make it a Chinese colony much like USA… Sit down you fool, we are not selling our nation like you dummies,” she wrote.

No Regrets
The actress reflecting on the statement said recently that she doesn’t regret any of the comments she had made so far. “They are scared of me,” she said.
“People who are dishonest, who have wronged others, who are unjust, they see me and they are so scared of me, they fear me”, she added.
Kangana lately, has been seen giving interviews to media as part of her recent film ‘Emergency’. During the conversations, her remarks on Rahul Gandhi being the ‘Leader of Opposition’ and Ram Nath Govind, First Dalit President of India (as per Kangana) made people question the eligibility criteria for being an MP.
