kangana-ranaut-in-spotlight-again-attacks-cong-on-parivarwaad

Actor Kangana Ranaut, the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate from Mandi seat in Himachal Pradesh, Thursday, launched a blistering attack on minister Vikramaditya Singh, saying he cannot threaten her and send her back as it is not his ancestor’s estate.

 

Son of former chief minister late Virbhadra Singh and state Congress chief Pratibha Singh, Himachal Public Works Minister Vikramaditya Singh is the frontrunner as the Congress’ nominee from the Mandi Lok Sabha seat.

 

Addressing a rally in Mandi assembly constituency falling under Mandi Parliament seat, Kangana said, “Yeh tumhare baap-dada ki riyasat nahin hai, ke tum mujhe dara, dhamka ke vapis bhej doge (This is not the estate of your father or grandfather that you will threaten me and send me back).”

 

This is the new Bharat of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where a small, poor boy who used to sell tea is the biggest hero and “pradhan sevak” of the people, she added.

 

Vikramaditya Singh had on Monday said Kangana is a “queen of controversies” and questions will be raised on her statements given from time to time.

Indirectly dubbing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Vikramaditya Singh as “Pappu”, Kangana said there is one “Bada Pappu” in Delhi and the “Chhota Pappu” in Himachal says she eats beef. She asked why he is not showing the evidence of her consuming beef.

 

“I follow ayurvedic and yogic lifestyle,” she asserted.

 

Terming Vikramaditya Singh as “ek number ka jhootha” (liar No. 1) and “paltubaaz” (one who repeatedly changes stance), she wondered what can be expected from him when “Bada Pappu” talks about destroying the “nari Shakti” (women power).

 

“I have made my name in the film industry without the help of my father and mother… I want to join politics and serve the people,” she said, and asserted that politics is an expression of service and anyone from a king to a beggar is entitled to that expression.

 

“I have built a house here,” said Kangana, who also touched the feet of an elderly couple during her rally in Manali.

 

Earlier, she was welcomed with slogans of ‘Jai Shri Ram’.
