Mumbai, August 1: The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kangana Ranaut has openly criticised Rahul Gandhi following his comments on caste during a Lok Sabha session. Kangana Ranaut took a dig at Rahul Gandhi, calling him "Pasta with kadi patta ka tadka." This comes a day after Rahul Gandhi claimed he was "insulted" and "abused" by BJP MP Anurag Thakur during a discussion on the Union Budget.

Kangana took to Instagram to share an old video of Rahul Gandhi discussing caste, accompanied by a sharp critique. She wrote, “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.) ‘Rahul Gandhi Should Undergo Drug Test,’ Says BJP MP Kangana Ranaut (Watch Video).

Kangana further questioned how Rahul Gandhi could publicly ask people about their caste in such a crude manner, calling it condescending and shameful.

Rahul Gandhi-Anurag Thakur 'Caste' Row

The controversy began when Rahul Gandhi accused Anurag Thakur of making derogatory remarks about him. Thakur had stated, “Those whose caste is not known, talk about the caste census,” without naming anyone. He later clarified that his comment was not directed at any specific individual. Rahul Gandhi’s Budget Speech in Lok Sabha Draws Sharp Criticism for Being ‘Divisive’ and ‘Anarchic’.

In response, Rahul Gandhi, who has promised a nationwide caste census if the INDIA bloc comes to power, stated, “You can insult me as much as you like but we will pass the caste census in Parliament. Anurag Thakur has abused me and insulted me. But I do not want any apology from him.”
