BJP MP Kangana Ranaut is facing criticism for her "absence" amid the Mandi flood disaster. While she expressed condolences and cited connectivity issues, the Opposition questioned her conduct.
BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut, elected from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi constituency, is facing criticism not just from the Opposition but also from her own party members over her absence during the ongoing flood disaster in the region. Heavy rainfall has caused widespread destruction in Mandi over the past few days. The Opposition alleges that Kangana has not visited the flood-affected victims or areas, and has urged her to be present on the ground during this crisis.
Responding to the criticism, Kangana posted a clarification on X (formerly Twitter), saying, "It is heartbreaking to see massive flood devastation in Himachal almost every year now, I tried reaching to flood affected areas in Seraj and other areas in Mandi, but [was] advised by Leader of Opposition Shri Jairam Thakurji to wait until the connectivity and reach to the affected areas are restored. [A] red alert is issued by Mandi DC today as well. Awaiting authorities' approval on the same; will be there soonest possible. Thanks. [sic]"
