BJP Reacts to kangana Ranaut's Controversial Comments on Farmers' Protest

The bharatiya janata party (BJP) has distanced itself from kangana Ranaut's recent remarks regarding the farmers' protests, while congress has called for an apology from the actor-turned-politician. Ranaut, who serves as an mp from Mandi, made headlines for her controversial statement suggesting that the farmers' protests could have led to a situation akin to "anarchy in Bangladesh" if the central government had not intervened.

BJP’s Response
In response to the backlash, the bjp issued a statement clarifying that Ranaut's views do not reflect the party's stance. The statement emphasized that Ranaut is neither authorized nor permitted to make statements on behalf of the bjp on party policy issues. The party reiterated its commitment to principles of social harmony and inclusivity, stating, "The statement made by bjp mp kangana ranaut in the context of the farmers’ movement is not the opinion of the party."

Kangana Ranaut’s Remarks
In her video shared on social media, Ranaut alleged that the farmers' protests were part of a broader conspiracy involving foreign powers aiming to destabilize India. She suggested that the situation could have escalated to anarchy similar to what happened in bangladesh if not for the government's actions. Ranaut also criticized what she described as "vested interests" and blamed "filmy people" for perpetuating the protests, even after the farm laws were repealed.

Congress' Criticism
Congress social media Chairperson supriya Shrinate condemned Ranaut’s comments, accusing her of calling farmers "murderers and rapists." She criticized Ranaut's inflammatory language and demanded that the bjp take action by removing her from the party. Shrinate expressed outrage at the remarks, emphasizing the importance of respecting the country's farmers, who she stated are essential to the nation's sustenance.

Context of the Farmers' Protests
The farmers' protests, which began in late 2020, saw large-scale demonstrations primarily led by farmers from haryana and Punjab. They were protesting against the now-repealed farm laws, which they argued would adversely affect their livelihoods. The protests lasted for over a year and involved significant disruptions, including the blockade of major roads leading to Delhi.

As the political landscape heats up with upcoming elections in haryana, Ranaut's comments and the ensuing reactions highlight the continued sensitivity around the issue of farmers' protests and the broader discourse on agricultural policies in India.
