In a stunning display of confidence, Kangana Ranaut, the BJP candidate from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, has taken a scathing dig at her opposition Congress rival, Vikramaditya Singh, suggesting that he may soon be forced to bid a hasty farewell to the constituency and make a beeline for the airport, literally packing his bags and leaving behind the political landscape.
This sarcastic remark comes as the actress-turned-politician is coasting to a landslide victory with a whopping lead of over 70,000 votes, leaving her opponent in the dust.
As the early trends released by the election commission confirm Kangana’s dominance, she took a potshot at Vikramaditya, implying that he might soon be forced to abandon his political dreams and return to his hometown, Mumbai.
The 37-year-old Bollywood star, known for her unapologetic candor, has been making waves in her political debut, and this latest jibe only adds to her growing reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the political arena.
In a fiery statement, Kangana Ranaut, the BJP candidate from Mandi, warned that her opponents will face the consequences of their derogatory remarks against her.
“They will have to suffer the consequences of talking so low about a woman… And that is becoming clear today with the way we have got the lead,” she said, emphasizing that the people of Mandi have not taken kindly to the insults directed towards women.
The BJP had been pinning its hopes on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s charismatic presence in the state, which had been boosted by his three high-profile rallies in the region.
Meanwhile, the Congress party was relying on its strong support base among government employees, who were eager to see the reinstatement of the previous pension plan, which had been met by the government under Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu.
