While reacting to a tweet by journalist-politician Swapan Dasgupta on the violence in Bengal, Kangana seemed to have urged PM Modi to “tame” Mamata Banerjee using his “Virat Roop” from “early 2000s” in Bengal. 

After repeatedly violating Twitter’s policy, her account has been suspended due to ‘hateful conduct and abusive behavior.’
