On Thursday, Ranaut criticized the INDIA alliance, stating that the Opposition bloc has no political issues to fight for.
Ranaut said: “New people and outsiders should be given a chance. In the film industry also, I had to struggle with dynasties. They (the INDIA alliance) are not able to decide on their candidate. They seem to be nervous and scared… They have no political issues left…”
Recently, she faced criticism for allegedly eating beef, which she denied as untrue rumors. She stated that she is a proud Hindu. She said:
“I don’t consume beef or any other kind of red meat, it is shameful that completely baseless rumours are being spread about me,”
In another tweet, Kangana indirectly criticized the opposition leader. She shared a video clip of PM Modi’s recent meeting with Indian gamers, where they introduced him to the term ‘noob.’ In her post, Ranaut playfully asks: “Who is this Noob?’ People who know Feku surely know. Hai na?”
