Kangana slams Congress for remarks against her and Hema Malini, calls it ‘sick mentality’

Kangana Ranaut criticizes Congress for derogatory remarks, vows to win Mandi seat in Lok Sabha elections.

Actor Kangana Ranaut, the BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Mandi seat, Thursday attacked the Congress for the objectionable remarks against her and said it showed their "sick mentality" which comes from family background.

Ms. Ranaut, who addressed the BJP workers' meetings in Sundernagar assembly constituency and Mandi town, said the Congress could not digest that the biggest political party gave her the ticket and, therefore, they started making indecent comments.

"Objectionable remarks against me by Congress leaders show their sick mentality which comes from family background and education in English schools," she said.

Congress leaders Supriya Shrinate and H.S. Ahir have kicked up a huge political row with derogatory comments against Ms. Ranaut and Mandi posted on their social media handles. Later, Ms. Shrinate had said her account was hacked.

Referring to the unpleasant comments made by Congress general secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Randeep Surjewala about actor and BJP's Mathura MP Hema Malini, 75, on Wednesday, Ms. Ranaut said when Congressmen can comment on famous actress Hema Malini, who has devoted her full life for art and culture, they can say anything about her.

The BJP's Mandi candidate said seeing her inclination towards the BJP, the other parties started terrorising her and even got her house damaged but she faced the situation boldly, and added that the women of Himachal are brave.
