Is Kangana Ranaut set to be the BJP’s star campaigner for upcoming elections?

Kangana Ranaut’s highly publicised spat with members of the Shiv Sena party, including the Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, has given rise to speculation that she will be the BJP’s star campaigner for the upcoming elections. Reports claimed that the ruling NDA government in Bihar may rope in the Bollywood actress to canvass for the upcoming assembly elections due in October-November.

However, senior BJP leader, Devendra Fadnavis dismissed the reports stating that the Prime Minister was their biggest campaigner.

"We need no other star campaigner as the NDA has, in Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the biggest star campaigner," Fadnavis said in a statement to PTI.
