BJP Distances From Kangana Ranaut's Remarks

BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has faced widespread backlash for her remarks on the farmers' protests, where she suggested that the protests could have led to a 'Bangladesh-like situation' and alleged that 'bodies were hanging and rapes were taking place.' Various political leaders and parties, including the Congress, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and Samajwadi Party (SP) have condemned her statements, accusing her of insulting farmers and questioning the BJP's stance towards farmers. The BJP has distanced itself from Ranaut's remarks, emphasizing that she is not authorized to speak on party policies and reaffirming its commitment to farmers' welfare. Protests erupted in several places, particularly in Haryana, where the opposition has utilized the controversy to critique the ruling BJP ahead of the upcoming elections. Calls for Ranaut's expulsion from the BJP have been made by both political opponents and farmer groups, who demand an apology for her controversial comments.
