Star Bollywood heroine Kangana Ranaut, who is known to the Telugu audience thanks to Prabhas' 'Ek Niranjan' and a few popular Hindi films, will be in the electoral fray this time. The BJP on Sunday announced her name in its latest list.
Taking to social media, the 'Queen' actress wrote, "My beloved Bharat and Bhartiya Janta’s own party, Bharatiya Janata party, has always had my unconditional support. Today, the national leadership of the BJP has announced me as their Lok Sabha candidate from my birth place Himachal Pradesh, Mandi.
She added that she will abide by the high command’s decision on contesting the polls. The 'Thalaivi' actress also added that she feels honoured and elated to officially join the party. "I look forward to being a worthy karyakarta and a reliable public servant," Kangana wrote, ending the message on an emotional note.
Kangana has been a vocal supporter of the BJP for the past many years. She supported the Modi regime over the CAA and the Farm Reform Bills enacted in 2020.
