‘Doesn’t reflect party’s view...’: BJP distances itself from Kangana Ranaut’s remarks on farm laws

BJP distances itself from Kangana Ranaut's remarks on farm laws, stating she is not authorized to speak on party's behalf.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has distanced itself from the remarks of party leader Kangana Ranaut on farm laws while stating that the actor is “not authorised” to make such statements on the party’s behalf.

This comes after Ms. Ranaut suggested that the three farm laws that were repealed following prolonged farmer protests should be brought back.

The actor-turned-politician had told the media, “I know this statement could be controversial, but the three farm laws should be brought back. Farmers themselves should demand it.”

BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said the remarks are a “personal statement” of Ms. Ranaut and don’t depict BJP’s view on farm bills.

“Kangana Ranaut is not authorised to make such a statement on behalf of the BJP, and it doesn’t depict the BJP’s view on the farm bills. We disapprove of this statement,” he added.

The Mandi MP has drawn ire over her remarks on farm laws.

Earlier, Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja criticised the actor, calling her “habitually controversial.”
