Socio-political activist and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's grandnephew Chandra Kumar Bose rebuked Kangana’s ‘First PM’ statement and said that she should study more to understand the heritage culture of India and also Stalwarts and National icons like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. “Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was certainly the first and the last Prime Minister of undivided, united India. He is being used as a tool in current-day politics. Netaji would rise above politics, he would unite all communities as Indians. These are concepts which one should understand. Netaji stood for unity among people. Today all political parties are doing divisive politics, vote-bank politics and communal politics, Netaji would have vehemently opposed this kind of politics. Kangana should study in-depth to understand the heritage culture of India and also Stalwarts and National icons like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose,” Chandra Kumar Bose
