Actress-turned-MP Kangana Ranaut has once again attacked opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. On Saturday, Kangana shared a morphed picture of Rahul Gandhi on her Instagram story, in which he was seen wearing a cap on his head, a turmeric teeka on his forehead and a cross necklace around his neck. She was taking a dig at him for his recent remarks on caste census in Parliament. Just hours later, she started trending on Twitter for ‘trolling’.

With the picture, 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).”
‘Kangana’ is currently trending on Twitter with over 20,000 tweets. Many have called her a ‘troll’ who is unfit for Parliament. “This is an appeal to @siddaramaiah, @revanth_anumula and @mkstalin. Kangana Ranaut has shared a shameful picture of Rahul Gandhi on Instagram. It’s time to drag her to court, just an online FIR won’t do. This behaviour of #KanganaRanaut is not good at all and she cannot be let off without punishment,” read a tweet.
Another person wrote, “People are watching.. they will respond to your hatred.” “Kangana Ranaut mocked Rahul Gandhi over caste census but she has many flops like *Tejas*, *Dhaakad*, *Thalaivi*, and many more. Given her own failures, she should not troll others. Rahul Gandhi is a very popular leader and doesn’t need defending,” read another tweet. “Shame on Kangana Ranaut 👎👎👎 What kind of sanskaars your parents have given you. Please take action @INCIndia,” read another tweet.
However, some people also supported Kangana and asked her to continue posting such posts.
Kangana’s previous post on Rahul Gandhi
Recently, Kangana took to her Instagram story and shared old videos of Rahul referring to caste in public meetings.
She wrote, “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. (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.)”
He also said, “How can he publicly ask people about their caste in such a rude, disrespectful manner, Rahul Gandhi should be ashamed.”
What did Rahul Gandhi say?
Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused BJP MP Anurag Thakur of “insulting and abusing” him in the Lok Sabha during the discussion on the Union Budget. Without naming anyone, the BJP MP had said, “Those whose caste is not known talk of caste census.” Later he said, “I had said that those who do not know about caste talk of census. I did not name anyone.”
Rahul, who had promised a nationwide census if India Bloc came to power, responded, “You can insult me as much as you want, but we will pass the caste census in Parliament. Anurag Thakur has abused and insulted me. But I don’t want any apology from him.”
