On April 17, 2026, BJP MP Kangana Ranaut criticized Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, for his comments during a debate on the Women’s Reservation Bill. Gandhi referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a 'magician,' which Ranaut described as a 'headache' and attributed to childhood trauma from a magic show he witnessed. This remark sparked outrage among BJP leaders, with Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju stating that Gandhi's language was inappropriate and defamed the country and military, particularly referencing the Balakot airstrikes. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also condemned Gandhi's words, calling them unfortunate and an insult to the people of India. He urged for the remarks to be expunged from the parliamentary records and requested an apology from Gandhi.
