Directing her criticism at Congress leader Vikramaditya Singh, Kangana asked whether the promises made to the people of Mandi had been fulfilled. "You would start a pension scheme. Did you... fulfil your promises? You had said that mobile vans would be started. It means vans with hospitals, which would go to different streets and provide treatment. Has anyone seen such vans in the Mandi?" Kangana said.


"You had promised to create 5 to 6 lakh jobs. Did anyone get a job? You had said that you would give Rs. 1500 to every woman and girl every month... Did anyone receive it?" she said.



During her speech, she praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for fulfilling all his promises to the people. "If someone talks about work in this country, if someone actually does the work, and if someone starts and delivers with a guarantee, then there's only one person 'Narendra Modi'," Kangana said.


This rection comes after, Congress leader from Himachal Pradesh Vikramaditya Singh shared a video where he targeted Kangana and said that she has used words that have never been used in Himachal.


'I respect Kangana Ranaut a lot... But the words she has used specially for me and the Congress party have never been used in Himachal... She delivered a political speech in Manali and she failed to talk about local issues. A few months ago, Manali was facing a Natural disaster and she did not even visit the area," he said in the video.
