Janhit: Political Tensions Rise in Himachal Pradesh After Mandi Cloudburst Disaster | ABP NEWS

A devastating cloudburst struck Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, five days ago, causing significant damage and triggering ongoing relief and rescue operations. While the administration focuses on disaster management, the incident has sparked political controversy in the state. Congress leaders criticized BJP MP Kangana Ranaut for her initial absence from Mandi after the disaster. Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition, Jai Ram Thakur, also expressed his disappointment over Kangana’s delayed response. Kangana later responded by saying she did not wish to comment on the issue and emphasized solidarity with those genuinely concerned about the affected people. The political heat intensified after a July 4 social media post by Kangana revealed her attempts to visit the disaster-hit areas, which she claimed were discouraged by Jai Ram Thakur. This added fuel to the ongoing feud between the BJP MP and opposition leaders. Despite the late visit, Kangana’s commitment to returning to her parliamentary constituency has raised questions about whether she can regain the trust of the local people amidst the disaster and political clash. The public and political observers now watch closely to see how this scenario unfolds.
