<div>BJP workers and leaders must be puzzled or trying to understand whether it was the right decision for the party to enrol actress Kangana Ranaut in the Party or not. Is she an asset to the party or liability? &nbsp;Her each and every statement is earning embarrassment to the party. And the latter's official spokespersons have to do firefighting or distance the party from her statement. Well that may be a general impression or interpretation of controversy surrounding her statements, but a possibility can't be ruled out that she is being used as a tool to float political theories to gauge the mood of the nation. Being a celebrity, she is always&nbsp;surrounded by the media, her controversial statements are not only diverting attention of the media from core issues, but also engages people and it becomes a debatable issue till the last person of the society.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>On a few occasions, party senior&nbsp;leaders had to summon her and instruct to toe the party line and not make any bla &nbsp;bla statement&nbsp;before the media, but it seems leaders advice or instructions actress is dumping at the doors of the party office. Or whatever she is doing, is part of a political game and strategy.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Now her latest statement on October 2 brings big &nbsp;discomfort to the party. On Tuesday, Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut stated, "Desh ke Pita Nahi Hote hai, Desh ke to Lal hote hai, Dhanya hai Bharat Mata ke lal ko." (Country does not have father it only has children, sons of mother India be blessed)</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Just a small question to Kangana, "Desh ke Pita nahi hote, Par Desh Mata ho sakti hai, like Bharatmata?"&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>October 2, India celebrated 125th birth Anniversary of freedom&nbsp;fighter Mohandas KaramChand Gandhi, whose service to the nation earned an entitlement of 'Father of Nation', Actress turned politician's statement was like she is denigrating Mahatma Gandhi. It was Subhash Chandra Bose, who first called M K Gandhi, "Father of Nation." By intentionally diminishing&nbsp;Mahatma Gandhi, she is just not underplaying Mahatma's contribution towards the country but &nbsp;is also insulting Bose, is the feeling of those who believe in Gandhi's ideology and Subhash Chandra Bose.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate took 'X" to react on Kangana's insulting remarks, "There is a father of Nation, &nbsp;there are sons, and there are martyrs, everyone deserves respect, Will Narendra Modi from bottom of his heart forgive Godse's new worshiper? only Godse worshipers can draw distinction between Lal Bahadur Shashtri and Mahatma Gandhi."</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Now let us visit Kangana's recent controversial statements, that brought humiliation to the party:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In the last week of September she demanded that the three &nbsp;farm laws, which were repealed, should be reinstated. Immediately party spokesman Gaurav Bhatia had to clarify, "It is her personal view and did not represent party stance, and she is not authorised to speak on behalf of the party." After which she backtracked calling it a personal view and also apologised to farmers.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>When the farmers agitation was at its peak, the actress had termed farmers agitation as 'Khalistani movement', for which, a criminal complaint was filed against her for intentionally and deliberately&nbsp;defaming &nbsp;farmers agitation. For her statement, a CISF woman personnel had slapped her at the airport.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>She in an interview had compared farmers' movement with the Bangladesh students movement and stated, "Farmers protest in India was potential 'Bangladesh like anarchy', she meant to say that outside forces are using local people to destabilise the country in the name of farmers rights."</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Political sources said Kangana is used as tool by right wing think tank, what the ruling party top brass leaders can't say, is planted through Kangana, by doing so they are gauging the mood and reaction the people of India and political opponents, if it creates negative impact, party either distances it or denounce her, but if it not does not spark controversy and people don't oppose it, same thoughts are slowly shaped up and becomes party's political concept, and incorporated in the strategy."</div>
