Kangana Ranaut Unleashes Fury on Congress: 'Mindlessly Dragging Me Into Your Propaganda!'

Bollywood firebrand Kangana Ranaut has once again found herself at the heart of a political storm, this time unleashing a blistering attack on the Congress party. The controversy erupted after an old photograph of Ranaut with Prime Minister Narendra Modi began circulating, leading the Congress to question her perceived 'role' during PM Modi's recent visit to Odisha.

Kangana, known for her candid and often fiery responses, did not mince words, accusing the grand old party of 'mindlessly dragging' her into their 'lame and disgusting propaganda'.

The incident began when Odisha Congress president Sarat Pattanayak reportedly raised questions about the presence and role of actress Kangana Ranaut during the Prime Minister's visit to the state, citing a viral photo.

This political maneuver, however, backfired spectacularly as Ranaut quickly took to social media to clarify and condemn.

In a series of strong statements, Kangana clarified that the picture in question was taken way back in 2021, during a meeting of women achievers with the Prime Minister. She explicitly stated that she was invited as part of a delegation for this significant event, which was an honour she cherished.

"Congress is mindlessly dragging me into their propaganda, that picture is from 2021 when I was asked to be part of the delegation for women achievers to meet the Prime Minister. I had no role in his Odisha visit," Ranaut asserted, expressing her palpable frustration.

The actress, who is often vocal about her political leanings and admiration for Prime Minister Modi, reiterated her pride in having met him.

"I am a proud nationalist, and I will always feel proud to meet my Prime Minister. That picture is from 2021, don't drag me into this lame and disgusting propaganda," she firmly declared. Her response not only clarified the factual inaccuracy but also highlighted her annoyance at being used as a pawn in a political tussle.

This incident underscores the often-turbulent intersection of celebrity and politics in India.

While public figures like Ranaut frequently leverage their platforms to express their views, they also become prime targets for political opposition. Kangana's swift and sharp rebuttal serves as a reminder that she is not one to shy away from defending herself, especially when she perceives an injustice or a deliberate attempt to malign her image for political mileage.

As the political slugfest continues, Ranaut’s strong stance sends a clear message: while she is proud of her interactions with the nation's leadership, she will not tolerate being used as a convenient distraction or a tool for political attacks.

The episode adds another chapter to the ongoing, often dramatic, narrative of Indian politics, with celebrities like Kangana Ranaut firmly in the spotlight.
