Kangana on support for PM being linked to politics

A few days ago, Kangana had hit out at trolls who claimed that she was supporting the Prime Minister because she wanted to join politics through the ruling party Bharatiya Janta Party. The Queen star had then stated that for the past 15 years, she had been rejecting BJP and Congress tickets, because she did not intend to join politics. She had then slammed the trolling and sought the end of trolling for her choice as an independent thinker.

At that time, Kangana had reacted to PM’s Independence Day address, how Swami Vivekananda would wonder, if he was alive, about his ‘great disciple’ being enough alone, unlike his statement of transforming India if given 100 energetic men and women
