Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut unintentionally aimed her criticism at her BJP colleague as an alternative of the meant opposition chief attributable to a similarity in names. Throughout an election rally, she erroneously focused Tejasvi Surya as an alternative of Tejashwi Yadav. The confusion arose from the resemblance between the names “Tejashwi” and “Tejasvi.”
Initially aspiring to direct her remarks in direction of RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav, Ranaut’s verbal misstep resulted in attacking Tejasvi Surya, BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate from Bengaluru South constituency in Karnataka. Ranaut, BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi, referred to Surya whereas criticizing opposition figures.
Tejashwi Yadav, the precise goal of Ranaut’s critique, responded to the incident by expressing his confusion over Ranaut’s assertion. He questioned her id, highlighting the mistaken id in a social media put up.
Ranaut’s verbal assaults have primarily centered on Congress leaders, together with Rahul Gandhi and Vikramaditya Singh, her opponent within the Mandi Parliamentary Constituency. Criticizing dynasty politics, Ranaut accused them of prioritizing impractical agendas over sensible improvement initiatives.
In response, the Congress social gathering emphasised the necessity for Ranaut to confirm information about her social gathering leaders and deal with problems with dynastic politics inside her personal social gathering. Amrit Kaur, Nationwide Media Coordinator for the Congress, questioned Ranaut’s {qualifications} for receiving a BJP ticket from Mandi.
The incident provides a twist to the political narrative because the Mandi Lok Sabha constituency prepares for the upcoming elections on June 1, marking the seventh section of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
