Supriya Shrinate slams Kangana Ranaut over social media remarks, questions her mental health

Speaking to the media in Hyderabad, Shrinate said she was not fully aware of Ranaut's specific comments concerning the Citizenship Act but strongly condemned several other statements attributed to the BJP parliamentarian.

Shrinate alleged that Ranaut's public remarks reflected a disregard for India's civilisation and cultural traditions. Escalating her criticism, the Congress leader described the actress-politician as mentally bankrupt and went on to suggest that she required medical attention.

"I do not know exactly what she said regarding the Citizenship Act, but the other, truly vile and repulsive things she has said are contrary to India's civilisation and culture," Shrinate said.

The Congress leader further claimed that Ranaut's statements indicated mental illness and sarcastically expressed hope for her speedy recovery, urging the BJP MP to consult a qualified medical professional and seek treatment.

The remarks represent another instance of political confrontation between the Congress and the BJP over statements made by public representatives on social media. Ranaut, who represents the Mandi Lok Sabha constituency in Himachal Pradesh, has frequently attracted political attention for her outspoken views on national and cultural issues.

Shrinate's criticism, however, extended beyond political disagreement into personal allegations about Ranaut's mental health. Such assertions remain political rhetoric and do not constitute any medically established assessment of the BJP parliamentarian.

The Congress leader's comments also underscore the increasingly confrontational nature of political exchanges involving prominent public figures, where controversies originating on social media frequently develop into wider political disputes.

The precise social media posts that prompted Shrinate's latest response were not identified in the remarks provided. Ranaut's response to the Congress leader's criticism was also not immediately available.

The exchange comes amid continuing political differences between the Congress and BJP over issues involving citizenship, national identity and public discourse, with social media increasingly serving as a platform for sharp exchanges between leaders of the two parties.
