Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Mandi Lok Sabha constituency Kangana Ranaut, during the election meeting in Nankhadi of Rampur sub-division on Wednesday, took a dig at the central leadership of the Congress and the Congress candidate from Mandi Lok Sabha constituency Vikramaditya Singh and asked how people associated with royal and political comforts understand the pain and suffering of the poor.

“They have read about poverty in books. Only the one who has sold tea and whose mother has raised children by cleaning neighbours’ utensils knows the pain and suffering of the poor,” said Kangana Ranaut.
She said that our vote should go only to those who have brought 25 crore people out of poverty. We will support the one who has given toilets to my mothers and sisters. They have been brought out of the hell of smoke by providing gas stoves.
The support must be rendered to those who allowed my elderly helpless brothers to have to sell their house and land in case of illness and gave them a health insurance scheme.
“He started giving free rations to more than 80 crore people in the country. The person who has sacrificed everything for us and is sitting to serve us. Such an ascetic, such a yogi is our Prime Minister. Today the time has come for us to pay him our respect. He has to reward them with all four Lok Sabha seats of Himachal,” said Ranaut.
Ranaut said that Himachal Pradesh is known as Devbhoomi, adding to which, she said, “The whole world says that the people of Himachal are very civilized and simple but you saw what kind of things Vikramaditya Singh of the royal family uses against me. He says that this girl is impure and she should go away from here. They are also using rude and indecent language on our senior BJP leader and former Chief Minister Jairam Thakur.”
Kangana said that she wanted to ask Vikramaditya what is this arrogance about. Today, if the world calls him a prince, a spoiled prince, then there is nothing wrong. He said that he is a prince who belongs to the family of Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. These are the children of big people and they have received education from universities like Oxford. The poverty they know is only in books. Raje is the son of Rajwada. Had Virbhadra Singh ji been alive even today, his heart would have been saddened by such abuses.
Kangana Ranaut left no stone unturned in honouring Virbhadra Singh, father of Vikramaditya Singh, Congress candidate from Mandi Lok Sabha constituency and six-time Chief Minister of Himachal, and said, “If His Holiness Virbhadra Singh was alive today, he would have asked Vikramaditya Singh to apologize to your sister.”
Kangana addressed Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav or Vikramaditya as spoiled princes and said that they should manage the property of their parents. “The country should be managed by such people who are born in the family of poor parents. The power of the country should be in the hands of such people who can even think about the poor,” he added.
Kangana said that if she had wanted wealth, she would not have left Mumbai. “I want space at your feet. I want to serve as your servant,” she added.-ANI
