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.
