‘Bose, India’s First PM’, Kangana Gets Trolled

Bollywood actress and BJP politician Kangana Ranaut stirred controversy by claiming Subhash Chandra Bose, not Jawaharlal Nehru, was India’s first Prime Minister. Despite historical records showing Nehru’s tenure, Ranaut’s assertion gained attention online. Critics questioned her education while others expressed concern over her political candidacy in Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi constituency. Ranaut’s statement reignited debates about historical accuracy and public figures’ roles in shaping discourse. Bose died in 1945, precluding him from serving as Prime Minister after India’s independence in 1947. Nehru held the position from 1951 to 1964. Ranaut’s controversial remarks continue to provoke discussion on social media platforms.
