As reported by the Times of India, Ranaut ended up attacking BJP’s Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya instead of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav
“There is a party of spoilt ‘shehzaadas’ (princes). They themselves don’t know where to go. Be it Rahul Gandhi, who wants to grow potatoes on the moon, or Tejasvi Surya, who indulges in hooliganism and eats fish,” said Ranaut. She is contesting from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh on a BJP ticket.
Ranaut has also created a controversy after saying that former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru‘s father Motilal Nehru was the “Ambani” of his time but no one knew from where his wealth came from.

“Motilal Nehru, the father of former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, was Ambani of his time but no one knows from where his wealth and property came from. He was close to the British, and from where he got the wealth is still a secret,” she said while addressing a gathering at Himachal Pradesh’s Sarkaghat assembly segment.Ranaut, an actor, also said that “nobody knows how Jawaharlal Nehru became the prime minister as voting was in favour of (former deputy prime minister) Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel”. Since then, this “‘deemak’ (termite) of dynastic rule has infected the country”, she said.”On one hand we have a ‘tapasvion ke sarkar’ (BJP government) and on the other we have ‘bhoogion ke sarkar’ (Congress) made up of small gangs of ‘shehzadas’, one them is in Delhi and the other is here (in Himachal Pradesh),” she said in an apparent reference to Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Virkamaditya Singh.Reacting to her remarks, the Congress filed a complaint with the Election Commission (EC), alleging that she has used “derogatory and insulting” remarks against senior leaders of the party and tried to compare “freedom fighter Motilal Nehru with one of the top businessmen of the country”.
