"Consistent Rant, Illogical Statements": BJP Leader On Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut had apologised after suggesting that the three farm laws should be brought back, but apologised after the BJP distanced itself.
Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut continues to be slammed by her party's leaders over her remarks on the three farm laws, which were withdrawn by the Modi government after it sparked massive farmers' protests. The Mandi MP had suggested that the three laws should be brought back but apologised after the BJP distanced itself from her remarks. She later said those were her personal views, not that of the party, and that her opinions should reflect the party's stand.
The apology, however, did little to allay the damage her words may have caused to the BJP's image in Punjab. BJP national spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill said one should not judge Prime Minister Narendra Modi's bond with Punjab through such "baseless and illogical" remarks.
"I am grateful to the BJP for distancing themselves from the comments of Kangana Ranaut. But as a Punjabi, I must say that Kangana Ranaut's consistent rant, useless, baseless and illogical statements against the Sikh community, the farmers of Punjab are damaging all the good work, the welfare-oriented, the Vikas-oriented work being done, that has been done by PM Modi for the welfare of Punjab, Punjabi and Punjabiyat," he told ANI.
