BJP leader Prakash Reddy condemned the statement allegedly made by Congress leader Supriya Shrinate against Lok Sabha poll candidate Kangana Ranaut, stating that such statements are objectionable
"These statements of the Congress party against Kangana Ranaut are objectionable, and the nation is questioning the party for their wrong statements," Prakash Reddy said. The purported post from Congress' social media chairperson Supriya Shrinate on Monday, which featured a picture of Ranaut dressed in a corset top with an objectionable caption, has since been deleted. Meanwhile, Bollywood actress and BJP's Mandi Lok Sabha candidate Kangana Ranaut has said that she was hurt by the post of Supriya Shrinate that had made disparaging comments against her. Shrinate has since claimed that her social media handle was hacked and she would never demean another woman. "Every woman deserves dignity, no matter what profession she is in. The most I am hurt by is the 'Mandi' thing, which is known as Chota Kashi and has been the land of several Rishis," Kangana said as she arrived at the Chandigarh airport. Further, Prakash Reddy addressed the political trajectory of Varun Gandhi, shedding light on the contrasting treatment between the BJP and the Congress party. "The Congress invited Varun Gandhi into the Congress party by promising an overwhelming majority, but the same Congress party threw out Sanjay Gandhi's family from their residence when they were in power. The BJP invited them and gave them a chance to continue in politics. Maneka Gandhi became a minister, and Varun Gandhi will also be given due respect. Taking winning prospects into consideration, the BJP had replaced Varun Gandhi," Prakash Reddy said. After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) decided not to field Varun Gandhi, the current Member of Parliament from Pilibhit, in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Congress' Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury extended an offer to the leader, asking him to join the party. The senior Congress leader addressing the media here on Tuesday, alleged that Varun Gandhi has been denied a BJP ticket due to his connection with the Gandhi family. "He should come here. We would be happy. He is an educated man. He has a clean image. BJP denied him a ticket because he is related to the Gandhi family. I think he should come (to Congress," the congress leader said.
