Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has instigated an attack on Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi yet again. On Saturday, Kangana posted a morphed picture of Rahul Gandhi on IG story at which portrayed the latter wearing a skull cap, etched with turmeric tika on his forehead and accessorised with a cross necklace. As a result, the actress started trending on Twitter.

Kangana wrote, “Jaati jivi jise bina jaati pooche jaati ganana karani hai (He who wishes to hold a caste census without asking anyone’s caste).”

Reaction from the netizens

“This is an appeal to @siddaramaiah, @revanth_anumula and @mkstalin. Kangana Ranaut has shared shameful below belt morphed image of Rahul Gandhi on Instagram. This is the time she gets dragged in court, just an online FIR won’t do the trick. This is absolutely sick from #KanganaRanaut and she just can’t be left unpunished,” stated a tweet.

“People are watching.. They’ll give answer to your Hatred,” wrote another. “Kangana Ranaut mocked Rahul Gandhi over the caste census, but she has had many flop films like *Tejas*, *Dhakad*, *Thalaivi*, and more. Given her own failures, she shouldn’t troll others. Rahul Gandhi is a very popular leader and doesn’t need defending,” added another. “Shame on Kangana Ranaut 👎👎👎 What kind of manners your parents gave you. Please @INCIndia take action,” said another tweet.

While some endorsed the actress’ actions on X.

Kangana’s earlier post on Rahul Gandhi

Earlier, Kangana posted old clips of Rahul which stated caste-based talks in public meet on her Instagram stories.

She penned, “Apni jaat ka kuch ata pata nahi, nanu Muslim, dadi Parsi, mummy Christian aur khud aisa lagta hai jaise Pasta ko kadi patte ka tadka lagakar kichadi banane ki koshish ki ho, aur inko sabki jaat pata karni hai. (You know nothing of your own caste, your grandfather is Muslim, grandmother Parsi, mummy Christian and it feels like someone tempered pasta with curry leaves to make rice and lentils, but he wants to know everyone’s caste.)”

She added, “How can he be publicly ask people their caste in such a crude, condescending manner, shame on Rahul Gandhi.”
