BJP slams Kangana Ranaut for linking farmers&39; protest to Bangladesh

She has 'no right' to speak on party's behalf : BJP
Punjab Newsline, New Delhi, August 26-
The BJP has officially distanced itself from recent statements made by actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut regarding the farmers’ movement. In a press statement issued by the BJP Central Media Department on Monday, the party clarified that Ranaut’s remarks do not reflect the party’s views and stated that she is neither authorised nor permitted to speak on the party’s policy matters.
“The statement made by BJP MP Kangana Ranaut in the context of the farmers' movement does not represent the party's view. The Bharatiya Janata Party expresses its disagreement with Ranaut's statement. On behalf of the party, Kangana has neither been granted permission nor is she authorised to speak on the party’s policy matters,” the party said.

The statement emphasised that the BJP disagrees with Ranaut’s comments and has directed her not to make similar statements in the future. The party reaffirmed its commitment to the principles of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas”, which focus on inclusive growth, trust, and social harmony. This clarification comes after Kangana Ranaut, made controversial remarks comparing the farmers’ protests in India to potential “Bangladesh-like anarchy”.
