New Delhi: For the second time in two months, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has distanced itself from its MP Kangana Ranaut’s remarks. Speaking to reporters in her Lok Sabha constituency of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, the actor-politician said the laws – rolled back by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in November 2021 after massive agitations – “should be brought back… (and) farmers themselves should demand it”.
“I know this will be controversial… but I feel the farm laws that were repealed should be brought back. The farmers themselves should demand it. They are a pillar of strength for the nation’s development and I want to appeal to them – demand the laws back for your own good,” Ranaut said.
The BJP, however, said her comments do not represent the party’s views.
