The reason behind this decision was a tweet by the actress that was deemed to violate the company&#8217;s abusive behavior policy. It allegedly called for violence and violated Twitter&#8217;s rules against hate speech. Kangana responded to the statement with her own statement. However, her comments were not enough to convince Twitter to reverse its decision. In the following paragraphs, we&#8217;ll explore the reasons why Kangana&#8217;s Twitter account has been blocked.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kangana_Ranauts_tweet_sparked_outrage_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Kangana Ranaut&#8217;s tweet sparked outrage on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier today, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut had her Twitter account suspended and her account subsequently deleted. She had posted a video on Instagram in response to the suspension. In her video, Ranaut called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to &#8220;tame&#8221; Mamata Banerjee and demanded President&#8217;s Rule in Bengal. Kangana Ranaut has been penalised on Twitter before for her vitriolic posts.<\/p>\n<p>After the recent West Bengal elections, violence broke out across the state and the BJP office in Kolkata was attacked. Several workers from both the parties were killed in the riots. The Central government is reportedly investigating the incident and has asked the state government to provide a report. Kangana&#8217;s tweet sparked outrage on Twitter and the actor has had to take down her account for now.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the recent ban of Kangana Ranaut&#8217;s Twitter account, there are a number of issues surrounding her tweets. The actress has been vocal in her support of the BJP government and has also been a staunch supporter of the Modi government in India. However, some people believe her tweets are too toxic and cause division among various communities. In fact, Twitter has already suspended her account after she posted a video of violence in West Bengal after the election results.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Her_tweet_violated_Twitters_abusive_behavior_policy\"><\/span>Her tweet violated Twitter&#8217;s abusive behavior policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The acclaimed actress&#8217;s Twitter account has been permanently suspended following a series of controversial tweets related to the recent elections in West Bengal. Ranaut was previously suspended from Twitter earlier this year after posting a series of incendiary tweets critical of the Amazon Prince Video series. The actress is no stranger to controversy, and she has a reputation for making controversial statements about sensitive issues.<\/p>\n<p>The actress has a long history of controversial and inflammatory tweets. Her latest tweet about the violence in West Bengal following the elections, which called for President&#8217;s rule, has been met with a backlash from fans. The tweet also contains a list of offensive terms. As a result, Twitter has permanently banned Ranaut&#8217;s account. The tweets were reported by a large number of Twitter users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Her_tweet_allegedly_incited_violence\"><\/span>Her tweet allegedly incited violence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The suspension of Kanganas&#8217; Twitter account is in the headlines again, this time for her comments on the death of democracy. The actress is known for posting controversial and inflammatory tweets, and this time, her latest tweet is about the violence that has erupted in West Bengal post-polls. She also used extremely offensive language while expressing her opinions. Kangana&#8217;s tweet allegedly incited violence has sparked a social media storm.<\/p>\n<p>After a series of comments on her tweet about the Bengal polls, Kangana Ranaut has been banned from Twitter. In a tweet referring to the communal carnage that occurred in 2002, the actress urged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to &#8220;tame&#8221; the opposition leader. She also asked the Prime Minister to tame TMC chief Mamata Banerjee. While Twitter has not issued a formal statement, the social networking site has suspended her account, citing repeated violation of the platform&#8217;s rules and &#8220;behavior that may harm the offline community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Her_repeated_violation_of_Twitters_abusive_behavior_policy\"><\/span>Her repeated violation of Twitter&#8217;s abusive behavior policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The actress&#8217; Twitter account was suspended permanently after she posted a controversial tweet about the violence in West Bengal, which sparked outrage. Twitter cited Kanganas&#8217; repeated violations of its abusive behavior policy as the reason for her suspension. The actress has been regularly criticized for tweets that were controversial and offensive. Twitter says it is a mistake to let her account lapse because of her inflammatory remarks.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kanganas has already been the subject of similar suspensions. In 2012, her account was restricted for her provocative comments about violence in West Bengal, and again in 2014, she was suspended for making remarks about Indian farmers protesting in the wake of the Tandav controversy. The actress&#8217; account was also suspended in 2013 following an exchange with Rihanna regarding the post-poll violence in West Bengal.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V_bLwAV9RGE\" width=\"441\" height=\"246\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Was Kangana Ranaut&#8217;s Twitter Banned?
