Leader of Opposition in Himachal Pradesh, Jai Ram Thakur, and state party chief Rajiv Bindal met with Kangana Ranaut on Monday ahead of her scheduled meetings with various party workers in Mandi. Kangana Ranaut is set to meet with party workers in Mandi today.
Previously, former Himachal Pradesh CM Jairam Thakur had visited Kangana at her residence in Mandi on Sunday. Following the meeting, Jairam Thakur stated, “Met BJP candidate from Mandi-Kullu parliamentary constituency Kangana Ranaut ji today at her residence Bhambla. During this, issues related to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections were discussed. Certainly Kangana ji is going to achieve a big victory in the Lok Sabha elections with the blessings of the people of Mandi Lok Sabha.”
Thakur had also urged voters to support Kangana’s candidature, emphasizing, “This is a fight for the self-respect of Mandi. This fight is to honor the women of Devbhoomi. Come, let us be a partner in sending Mandi’s daughter Kangana Ranaut to the grand temple of Lok Sabha by winning with an overwhelming majority.”
In preparation for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024, Kangana Ranaut held a roadshow in the city on Friday, where she was warmly received by a large crowd. The BJP Mandi candidate expressed gratitude for the support, stating, “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.”
“Development is the main issue for the BJP. The people of Mandi will show what is in their hearts,” Kangana added, as supporters around her welcomed her with ‘Jai Shri Ram’ chants.
Himachal Pradesh comprises four Lok Sabha seats: Hamirpur, Mandi, Shimla, and Kangra, all of which were won by the BJP in 2019. The elections for the four Lok Sabha seats in Himachal Pradesh, along with bypolls for the six assembly constituencies that became vacant due to the disqualification of six rebel Congress MLAs, are scheduled to be held on June 1.
