Kangana Ranaut meets BJP chief days after her remarks on farmers protest

Bhubaneswar: In the wake of her controversial comments about the 2020-21 farmers’ protests, BJP Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut was summoned for a meeting with party president and Union Health Minister J P Nadda at his residence in Delhi on Thursday morning. This development comes after her party had swiftly distanced itself from her remarks and advised her against making such statements.

The BJP on August 26 distanced itself from its Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut’s remarks on the farmers’ agitation and asked her to refrain from making such statements in the future. Actor-politician Ranaut stoked a controversy by suggesting that the farmers’ protest could have led to a Bangladesh-like situation in the country had the top leadership not acted strongly.
