Mandi: Ahead of voting, attacks on rivals have grown between Congress and BJP. Himachal Pradesh Congress leader and candidate from Mandi, Vikramaditya Singh on Wednesday took a swipe at actor turned politician and BJP candidate from Mandi Kangana Ranaut. He said that with her statements, Kangana is giving good competition to comedian Kapil Sharma.
While Speaking to a news agency, Vikramaditya Singh said, “I have just asked tough questions from her (Kangana Ranaut), but she always tries to escape from them alleging that we are anti-women. Her time of entertainment is now completed in Himachal Pradesh. She had given enough statements that people couldn’t stop laughing after listening.”
“She is giving good competition to comedian Kapil Sharma. I think she should go back to Mumbai after June 4 and do films or else she can start a comedy show with Kangana Ranaut,” he added.
Expressing his sympathy with the Leader of the Opposition and former Chief Minister Jairam Thakur, Singh claimed that Thakur along with other BJP leaders is being neglected due to Kangana Ranaut.
“My sympathy is with Jairam Thakur. We know what is happening with BJP MLAs. Jairam Thakur is the former CM, at least give him some respect. Yesterday, Thakur’s bodyguards were asked to step down from the helicopter to accommodate one makeup artist. The people of Mandi are annoyed and not only the people, the workers, leaders, and MLAs of the BJP are agitated,” Singh said.
“Everyone wants and wishes these ten days to be completed soon and she (Kangana Ranaut) returns to Mumbai,” the Congress leader added. Not known to hold back, the BJP candidate recently stirred a row by reaffirming her earlier statement that the country attained independence to the coming of the BJP-led NDA government, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in 2014.
