Kangana Ranaut’s highly publicised spat with members of the Shiv Sena party, including the Maharashtra CM
Uddhav Thackeray, has given rise to speculation that she will be the BJP’s star campaigner for the upcoming elections. Reports claimed that the ruling NDA government in
Bihar may rope in the Bollywood actress to canvass for the upcoming assembly elections due in October-November.
However, senior BJP leader,
Devendra Fadnavis dismissed the reports stating that the Prime Minister was their biggest campaigner.
"We need no other star campaigner as the NDA has, in Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, the biggest star campaigner," Fadnavis said in a statement to PTI.
Meanwhile, Kangana, in a series of tweets, not only admitted that
the BJP party
had approached her to join the party, but also revealed that she had turned down two tickets, simply because she is “Kangana Ranaut.”
“I have denied BJP ticket twice, I am Kangana Ranaut my popularity and yearly income is far more than many successful Ministers and politicians, why not sometimes use your intellect Madam intellectual,” Kangana said in a tweet on September 4.
After a dramatic and highly-publicised 5-day visit to Mumbai, the actress jetted back to Manali, Monday morning. Sharing a parting note on her Twitter handle, she said, "With a heavy heart leaving Mumbai, the way I was terrorised all these days constant attacks and abuses hurled at me attempts to break my house after my workplace, alert security with lethal weapons around me, must say my analogy about POK was bang on."
The actress has claimed that the demolition drive carried out at her Bandra office by the BMC was “illegal”, contrary to the civic body’s claims that they tore down only “illegal alterations” in the premises.
The actress even met with the Maharashtra Governor to put forth her grievances and demand justice.
