BJP Member of Parliament and Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut got herself involved in controversy after she posted a tweet doing a comparison between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump.
The erased post mentioned that Trump was jealous of the Indian Prime Minister’s global popularity, calling Modi the “father of all alpha males.”
BJP leaders quickly criticised the tweet, urging party president JP Nadda to look into the matter. Upon JP Nadda’s directive, Kangana Ranaut had to delete the post and issue a clarification, highlighting that she repented for her personal opinion on the matter.
Trump mentioned high tariffs and highlighted Apple’s migration to India.
Kangna Ranaut, who is a supporter of Modi, initially defended her verdict but later on accepted that the BJP leadership asked her to remove the tweet.
She expressed, “Respected national party president Shri JP Nadda ji called me and asked to remove the tweet I had posted, highlighting Donald Trump asking Apple CEO Tim Cook to stop manufacturing in India. I apologise for posting my very personal opinions. According to his directives, I immediately removed it from my social media platforms”.
