Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has ignited a fresh wave of controversy by suggesting that the three farm reform laws, which were repealed following extensive farmers protests, should be reinstated. Her comments, which have faced significant backlash, prompted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to distance itself from her statements and assert that she is “not authorised” to speak on behalf of the party.Taling it to her official X handle, Ranaut expressed, In the last few days, the media asked me some questions on the farmer law, and I suggested that farmers should request Prime Minister Modi to withdraw the farmer law. She acknowledged that many people were disappointed and frustrated by her remarks, adding, When the farmer law was proposed, many of us supported it, but our Prime Minister withdrew it with great sensitivity and empathy.Do listen to this, I stand with my party regarding Farmers Law.

Her swift retraction underscores the sensitive nature of political discourse within the party and the complexities of her dual role as a public figure and a party member.Meanwhile, it is important to note that the apology from the actor has come after BJP distanced itself from the remarks of the party leader on farm laws while stating that the actor is not authorized to speak on partys behalf.
