Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday slammed BJP MP Kangana Ranaut over her remarks on farmers` protests and said that the words were "deliberate" and was the "BJP`s script."
"This is the BJP`s script, which is being read out by an actress as dialogue on the instructions of a top director. When an ordinary politician understands that using abusive language about the farmers` movement in a farmers` state will harm their prospects, the BJP`s Chanakya does not understand this?" Mr Yadav said in a post in Hindi on X.
