After a number of ground-breaking performances in Bollywood, actress Kangana Ranaut is eager to take on a new role in her life as a politician.
On Wednesday, Kangana Ranaut spoke candidly about her intentions to enter politics and her new position as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, for the 2018 Lok Sabha elections.
When asked if she already intended to enter politics during a talk at the Times Now Summit, Kangana replied, “The decision is always with the party but I have always openly supported BJP regardless of whether I am a party member or not.” I have consistently backed Bharat and campaigned for the BJP. I have always believed that my ideologies and personality are naturally aligned with those of the tadkta-bhadkta right wing, or magnificent right wing.
Kangana went on, “People should say’she should be a leader’ in order to be a leader.” It seems like a different type of position and duty.
On Sunday, Kangana was declared the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. In preparation for the impending Lok Sabha elections, the BJP unveiled its sixth list of contenders for the 16 states.
The names and addresses of the party’s candidates for the Lok Sabha seats in Kerala, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Mizoram, Sikkim, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Rajasthan, Haryana, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Kerala, Goa, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh have been made public.
Ranaut posted the information on Instagram Stories and praised the BJP leadership. “Today, the national leadership of the Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) 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,” the writer wrote. “My beloved Bharat and Bhartiya Janta’s own party, the BJP, has always had my unconditional support.”
“I feel honoured and ecstatic to officially join the party,” she continued. I hope to serve the people with integrity and as a deserving karyakarta. Regards.” Regarding her career, Kangana’s upcoming film, Emergency, will also be her first solo directorial effort.
