Vikramaditya Singh Challenges RSS and VHP Over Kangana Ranaut's Beef eating Controversy Amidst Mandi Campaign
SHIMLA: The Mandi Lok Sabha campaign took a dramatic turn as Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh threw down the gauntlet to the RSS and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), demanding clarity on the contentious beef-eating controversy swirling around BJP's Kangana Ranaut.
Singh, son of the late Virbhadra Singh, a towering figure in Himachal Pradesh politics, boldly sought answers from the RSS and VHP regarding their stance on the issue, citing the Sanatani values prevalent among the state's populace.
In a fiery exchange Bollywood's outspoken 'Queen', Kangana has taken aim at Vikramaditya Singh, derisively labeling him "Chotta Pappu" and categorically brushing aside the beef-eating row as groundless.
Singh's initial salvo came as he dared the RSS and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) to elucidate their stance on the contentious "beef controversy" surrounding Ranaut, who is vying for the Mandi constituency under the BJP banner.
As the son of the late Virbhadra Singh, a prominent six-time Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, Singh wasted no time in launching a scathing verbal assault on Ranaut, questioning her commitment and responsibility to the state during times of adversity in 2023.
He has asked her where she was when the worst ever natural disaster had struck Mandi, Kullu, Manali, where she said she had home. Did she ever cared to meet the needy disaster-hit victims who lost their homes? Vikramaditia asked.
He challenged the RSS and VHP to clarify their stance on the matter, emphasizing the Sanatani values of the people of Himachal Pradesh and questioning Ranaut's role during times of crisis.
He said the CM along with him and teams restored breached roads and bridges in a record time and paid compensation by increasing it from paltry Rs 1,5 lakh to Rs 7 lakh to the victims.
My father made Dev Sadan in Kullu and Mandi and Congress government worked for the people of Mandi , he cited.
As the verbal jousting intensifies between the two political adversaries, all eyes are on Mandi, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in what promises to be an electrifying showdown.
With accusations flying and tensions soaring, the Mandi constituency braces itself for a titanic clash between two formidable contenders.
