BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has said she no longer wants to be a 'moderate Hindu' and now wants to become an 'awakened Hindu.' The actor-turned-politician made the remarks while defending her earlier statement that women become Leftist after meeting Islamists. Ranaut said she would not defend herself against claims about her past, but asserted that she now wants to 'convert' to a more 'defined' path. She added that she now identifies as a 'defined and awakened Hindu' by adopting the ideology of the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Her comments have drawn attention because of her position as a ruling party MP and her history of controversial statements. The reports do not specify when or where she made these remarks.
