NEW DELHI: Actor-turned-politician and BJP‘s candidate from Himachal Pradesh, Kangana Ranaut on Friday held a roadshow in the Mandi constituency.
Amid loud chants of ‘ Jai Shri Ram,’ Kangana, who is set to contest in her first electoral battle was seen greeting and waving at the supporters.
“You can see the large gathering here. A lot of people have come here. They are all proud that the daughter of Mandi, the nationalist voice from Mandi will represent the constituency in this election,” said the BJP’s Mandi candidate ahead of her roadshow.
“Development is the main issue for BJP.The people of Mandi will show what is in their heart,” Kangana added.

Addressing the gathering, she also urged the people of the constituency to consider her part of their family rather than as a heroine or star.
“Don’t think that Kangana is a heroine, that she is a star. Consider Kangana your sister, your daughter. Everyone is my family,” she said.

On Wednesday, Kangana said that she has a “glorious right-wing personality” and accused the Congress of supporting nepotism and specifically targeted its leaders Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi.
She also added that the grand old party has “always been an appalling party for me”.
“The Congress has always been an appalling party for me. The nepotism in the party has been hugely problematic for me because I was a target of the same system in my (film) industry. I had condemned it openly, I fought against it. Something that was exploiting me… Nepotism, groupism, dynastic politics… I despise this party,” Ranaut said at the Times Now Summit 2024 – India Unstoppable event in New Delhi.
“Nepo kids,” the “Queen” star said when she was asked to describe the Gandhi siblings in one line.
“They are weird as if they have landed from Mars,” she added.
“Regardless of whether I’m a party member or not, I have always fought for the party’s cause. I have left no stone unturned. I always felt that my natural alignment and ideology is with a nationalistic government. I have a glorious right-wing personality,” she said.
