Kangana Ranaut, an actor turned politician, has sparked controversy once more by advocating for the reinstatement of the three agriculture reform measures that were withdrawn in response to farmer protests. After the BJP harshly criticized her remarks, the Mandi Lok Sabha MP apologized in public and stated, “I take my words back.”
The BJP disavowed her comments on Tuesday and said that Kangana Ranaut is “not authorised” to speak for the party in any way.
BJP spokesman Gaurav Bhatia said in a video message that Ranaut’s remarks are a “personal statement” and do not reflect the party’s position on the farm bills.
The BJP MP apologized in public after coming under fire from the party, saying, “My remark has disappointed several people.”
“I need to remind myself that I am no longer just an actor, I am a politician too, and my opinions should not be personal, but a reflection of the party,” she said.
While acknowledging the initial broad support for the farm rules, Ranaut emphasized the need to respect Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to rescind them.
“I apologize if my opinions and remarks have let anyone down. I retract what I said,” she continued, highlighting the need for BJP members to support the Prime Minister’s decision as a group.
Earlier today, Ranaut emphasized the individualized nature of her opinions on the social networking platform X. “My opinions on Farmers Laws are personal and do not reflect the party’s stance on those Bills,” the writer stated in her letter. Regards.”
In a media interview earlier on Tuesday, Ranaut said, “I know this statement could be controversial, but the three farm laws should be brought back.” This was the start of the dispute. Farmers themselves ought to make that demand.”
She contended that although the three laws helped farmers, the Center had revoked them in response to concerns from farmer organizations in several states.
“A key component of the nation’s development is its farming sector. Her words, “For their own good, I want to appeal to them to demand the laws be returned.”
Interestingly, the BJP has previously criticized statements made by the MP for the Lok Sabha. The party issued a statement last month criticizing Kangana Ranaut for her remarks regarding the farmers’ protest and advising the actor-turned-politician to be cautious while making such remarks in the future.
