Hyderabad: Bollywood actor and BJP candidate Kangana Ranaut, on the day of the 2024 election results, marked a joyous beginning to her political career, taking a significant lead in the Mandi Lok Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh. As the early trends indicated her dominance over Congress's Vikramaditya Singh, Kangana took to social media to share a heartwarming moment with her mother.
Taking to Instagram Story, Kangana posted a couple of photos featuring herself and her mother, showcasing the tender exchange of blessings and affection. In one of the pictures, she captioned "Maa Ka aashirwad (Mother's blessings)", while in another, she wrote "Maa ishwar ka roop hai (Mother is the form of God)". This poignant display of mother's love and devotion set Kangana's confident and optimistic outlook on her electoral debut.
In a video shared by a news agency, Kangana expressed her gratitude to the people of Mandi and reiterated her commitment to serving them. She stated that the constituency has not taken kindly to the disrespect shown to daughters, and as a proud daughter of the soil, she will continue to work for the betterment of Himachal Pradesh, her 'janmabhoomi' (birthplace). "So, I am not going anywhere. Perhaps, someone else will have to pack their bags and leave. I am not going anywhere," said Kangana.
As per the latest trends from the Election Commission of India, Kangana is leading by a substantial margin of 71,000 votes over her Congress counterpart, Vikramaditya Singh. This impressive performance marks a significant milestone in her political journey, which began earlier this year when she officially joined the BJP and was announced as the party's candidate.
Kangana's vocal support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP has been well-documented over the years.
