Amidst growing discontent, the higher-ups in the BJP are increasingly dissatisfied with the performance of Kangana Ranaut, the MP from Mandi. Their frustration stems from her handling of the devastating monsoon situation in her constituency, where her response has been called into question source says. During her recent visit to the affected areas, she appeared to lack the capability to enact meaningful change, primarily due to her absence from a cabinet position and the scarcity of funds for rehabilitation as said publically source says. Observers within the party suggest that her visit was more about garnering attention than addressing the pressing needs of her constituents.
The discontent was palpable among party leaders and workers, prompting them to send an urgent appeal to JP Nadda, the party president and a prominent figure hailing from the same state. Quickly assessing the situation, Nadda arrived in Mandi, engaging directly with the afflicted communities and surveying the devastation. He dispatched dedicated leaders and volunteers to aid in the rehabilitation efforts, all while seemingly sidelining Kangana Ranaut in the process source says. The former Chief Minister also played a critical role, stepping in to oversee the recovery initiatives. In the local populace, a sentiment has emerged that Kangana lacks a genuine interest in political duties. The perception is that she was drawn to the allure of power, leveraging the support of party stalwarts and local activists to secure her election source says.
Now, however, she appears overwhelmed by the responsibilities that come with her role. Voters are increasingly aware that she has access to twenty five crores for her constituency over five years—an amount significantly above what is deemed necessary for effective rehabilitation. Critics argue that her claims of insufficient funds are misleading, suggesting a reluctance to confront her responsibilities source says.
Despite these challenges and mounting pressure, Kangana maintains her course, seemingly indifferent to the rising concerns among her constituents and party ranks. This attitude could spell trouble for the party’s prospects in upcoming elections, as the growing discontent continues to simmer beneath the surface source says.
