In a significant move, Congress MLA Vikramaditya Singh has been named as the party’s candidate for the Mandi Lok Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh, where he will be pitted against BJP’s Kangana Ranaut. This announcement comes as part of the Congress party’s unveiling of 16 candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024.

“We respect our elder sister Kangana Ranaut. Today she was addressing the people of Manali. Instead of speaking against Congress party and its leaders, it would have been good, if she would have taken up and talked about the issues on the biggest disaster of the century, which happened in Manali a few months ago,” Vikramaditya said.
Before this, Vikramaditya called Kangana the queen of controversy and that she knew nothing about Himachal. “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,” Kangana said.
