Congress leaders threaten to stall Kangana's Dhaakad shoot in MP, BJP reacts

Congress leaders in Madhya Pradesh's Betul district have threatened that they would not allow Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut to shoot for a film if she did not apologize to farmers over her tweets. However, BJP leader and state home minister Narottam Mishra assured that the government will ensure that "behan- beti" Kangana faces no problem while shooting, reported PTI. Reacting over the issue, Kangana tweeted, "Mujhe netagiri mai koi interest nahi hai, magar lagta hai ki Congress mujhe neta bana kar hi chhodegi (I have no interest in politics, but looks like the Congress will leave me after I become a politician only)." 

मुझे नेतागीरी में कोई इंटरेस्ट नहीं .... मगर लगता है कांग्रिस मुझे नेता बनाकर ही छोड़ेगी... 🙂 https://t.co/O6ux4r7Tm6
