Congress should clarify where Centre’s disaster aid was spent: Kangana
While campaigning for Kangra Lok Sabha candidate Rajeev Bharadwaj and assembly by-election candidate Sudhir Sharma in Dharamshala, she highlighted the schemes of Centre government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who is Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Lok Sabha nominee from Mandi, on Monday questioned chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress government regarding the “disaster relief the state government received from the Centre”.
“Congress leaders owe an explanation to the public about where they spent the disaster relief money they received from the Centre. Whatever bit I could do as a citizen, I did from the start. The BJP would register a big victory in the Lok Sabha elections and all the assembly by-elections,” she said.
“I have had a chance be there in the holy land of Kangra. I was fortunate to seek blessings of the Tibetan Spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. My two brothers, Sudhir Sharma and Rajeev Bharadwaj, are present in public meetings so that I can meet the people of Kangra,” she added.
Kangana had visited the Dalai Lama at his residence in Dharamshala.
“I am a daughter of Himachal and I am am proud of it,” she said while addressing a public gathering in Tang Narwana . She said that she would contribute her best towards the nation’s progress.
“Those who asked me questions, tell me where the state government spent thousands of crores in financial assistance received from the Centre,” she said.
While campaigning for Kangra Lok Sabha candidate Rajeev Bharadwaj and assembly by-election candidate Sudhir Sharma in Dharamshala, she highlighted the schemes of Centre government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“What vision do the Congress have for this country. The Lok Sabha elections is not an ordinary one, this election is a battle between religion and unrighteousness. I am confident that the people of the state will vote for the BJP and give a strong answer to those who boast of defeating Hindus,” she said.
“It is ironic that on the one hand, few people are crossing their limits and inflicting insults on women, while on the other hand, PM Modi is providing houses and toilets to the women and empowering them by giving them drones,” Kangana.
The Opposition parties are working to divide the society based on religion and caste and PM Modi is making developmental plans for every section of the society and implementing them on the ground, without discriminating based on caste or creed, she further added.
