Mumbai, Nov 11: Actress and BJP Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut has expressed skepticism regarding the timing of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's acquisition of Indian citizenship. She highlighted that Sonia married former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1968 but only became an Indian citizen in 1983.
In an Instagram post, Kangana linked this timeline to the death of Sanjay Gandhi in 1980, questioning why Sonia Gandhi waited 15 years after her marriage to obtain citizenship.
Kangana shared in her stories: “Sonia Gandhi got married in 1968. She lived in the Prime Minister's residence and voted without citizenship but didn’t acquire Indian citizenship for 15 years. After Sanjay Gandhi's death in 1980, Sonia Gandhi decided to get Indian citizenship in 1983. Why did she wait until after the death of Indira’s political heir?”
On November 10, Kangana made several allegations against Sonia Gandhi, questioning the political ascent of what she termed a 'mysterious foreign national'.
She mentioned that her research for the film 'Emergency' revealed peculiarities surrounding the Gandhi family, particularly how Sonia's arrival coincided with the deaths of Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi, leaving her as the sole heir.
The actress remarked that the series of events seemed to involve too many coincidences.
Kangana stated: "While everyone is discussing the NVIDIA honey trap controversy, my research on Indian politics and the Gandhi family for 'Emergency' led me to a puzzling conclusion: a mysterious foreign national enters the Gandhi family, and soon after, Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi— all potential heirs— die, leaving only Sonia Gandhi as the sympathetic choice for leadership. This foreigner has openly supported foreign agendas and shed tears for terrorists, yet she managed to lead the government for decades until 2014 (sic)."
Later, she posted again, accusing Sonia of ousting Maneka Gandhi after Sanjay's death.
"A vulnerable teenage girl, Maneka, who was deeply loved by Sanjay, was thrown out of his house after his death for arbitrary reasons stated by Sonia Gandhi. This happened just before others were eliminated—how convenient!" Kangana wrote.
Kangana also found it strange that Sonia Gandhi met Rajiv Gandhi by chance in a café, which led her into the influential Gandhi family.
In her latest social media update, she noted, "At the end of the clip, everyone leaves, but Maneka remains, looking at Mrs. Gandhi like a wounded child seeking comfort, perhaps a smile or a glance. She hopes for a sign, but receives only coldness, eventually disappearing. Heartbreaking! Meanwhile, everyone seems to be under the spell of a mysterious foreign national who fortuitously met Rajiv Gandhi in a café abroad and became inseparable. The younger son, Sanjay, was being groomed by Mrs. Gandhi but died mysteriously, and shortly after, his mother-in-law and husband were also killed one after the other."
In her concluding remarks, Kangana reiterated how the deaths of Sanjay, Indira, and Rajiv Gandhi conveniently positioned Sonia Gandhi as the head of the government.
