Popular Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has been included in the latest list of candidates announced by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Ranaut, known for her vocal support of the BJP, is set to contest from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, her hometown.
Expressing her gratitude towards the party for nominating her as their Lok Sabha candidate from Mandi, the 37-year-old actress took to social media platform X to share her appreciation. She emphasized her unwavering support for the BJP, stating, “My beloved Bharat and Bhartiya Janta’s own party, Bharatiya Janta party (BJP) has always had my unconditional support, today the national leadership of BJP has announced me as their Lok Sabha candidate from my birth place Himachal Pradesh, Mandi (constituency) I abide by the high command’s decision on contesting Lok Sabha polls,”

It’s noteworthy that Kangana Ranaut hails from a political background, as her great-grandfather, Sarju Singh Ranaut, served as a Congress MLA.
Following this, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate posted a derogatory and sexist post on her Instagram handle about Kangana Ranaut.
In the now-deleted post, Shrinate shared a picture of Ranaut with the caption (translated from Hindi), “What is the current rate in Mandi, someone please tell.”
This is not the first time that the two women have sparred with each other.
BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla condemned the comments and wrote, “This is beyond disgusting. The comments by @SupriyaShrinate on @KanganaTeam are despicable! Should be immediately sacked.. Will @priyankagandhi speak up? Will Kharge ji sack her! Where is the “Hathras” lobby now? First they justified Sandeshkhali, then Lal Singh getting a ticket from Congress and now this”
Back in 2021, Kangana Ranaut described India’s Independence in 1947 as “bheek” or alms. Congress spokesperson, Supriya Shrinate, condemned Ranaut’s comments, emphasizing the sacrifices made by freedom fighters. She criticized the government’s silence and called for action against Ranaut. Shrinate stressed that Ranaut’s disrespect towards India’s independence should not be tolerated, especially from someone honored with the Padma Shri. She urged both an apology from Ranaut and action from the government.
However, this time Shrinate took it to a new low by sharing a picture of Ranaut with an even more disgusting caption.
