Kangana Ranaut's response was prompted by Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar, who serves as the Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly. He alleged that the BJP Lok Sabha candidate had previously tweeted about liking and consuming beef, suggesting that it was contradictory for the BJP to nominate her as a candidate for the upcoming elections.
During a rally in Maharashtra on April 5, Wadettiwar also claimed that the BJP was "welcoming" all corrupt leaders. In response to the allegations, several BJP leaders came out in support of Ranaut. BJP spokesperson Keshav Upadhye criticized Wadettiwar's remark, stating that it reflects the Congress' "dirty culture".
