Kangana Ranaut, actor and BJP election candidate, denies eating beef

A ruling party prospect in India has been forced to deny eating meat in his election campaign.

Kangana Ranaut, a vocal supporter of the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP), said the claims by her opponents are” shameful” and “baseless rumours”.

Indians, the largest religious sect in India, regard cattle as sacred.

Some BJP members have pushed for the elimination of cow murder.

An opposition politician made the claim that Ranaut, an award-winning Bollywood superstar who has appeared in some of India’s highest grossing movies, had recently eaten beef.

As alleged support for that state, various social media users shared screenshots of what they thought were old posts from Ranaut’s accounts.

The artist, who is attempting to enter politics in the upcoming weeks as a BJP member in northeastern Himachal Pradesh status, may be deterred by the claim.

She wrote on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote,” I do n’t consume beef or any other kind of red meat; it’s shameful that completely untrue rumors are being spread about me. I’ve been advocating and supporting the yogic and Ayurvedic way of life for decades.”

Nothing can ever persuade my persons, as they already know me and are aware that I am a happy Hindu.

Renaut, 37, signed off her blog with the word” Jai Shri Ram”, a statement of the Hindu beliefs.
