Mandi, May 24 (HS). Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two rallies on Friday gave a new lease of life to the candidates of two of Himachal Pradesh's four Lok Sabha seats, Mandi and Shimla. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given the message of women empowerment and Beti Padhao-Beti Badhao to the country on the pretext of BJP candidate Kangana Ranaut from Mandi's historic Paddal Ground.
Modi said that today the future of India is the daughters who fly drones in the fields, daughters who fly fighter planes. Therefore, sister Kangana is not just our candidate, she is an inspiration for our youth and daughters. He said that how can a girl succeed on her own by going into a completely new field. She represents this belief.
He said that I have opened the doors of Sainik Schools and Defence Academy for girls. Be it fighter pilot or passenger pilot, girls are proving their mettle everywhere. He said that in ten years the number of women in central forces has more than doubled. The coming five years are going to be of great flying for girls.
Calling Congress a carrier of orthodox thinking, Modi said that what does Congress say about the daughters who achieve success on their own. The things that Congress has said about Kangana in the name of Mandi are an insult to Chhoti Kashi, an insult to Himachal, an insult to every daughter of Himachal. Giving the status of Devbhoomi to Himachal, Modi said that in this Himachal, Mata Shikari, Maa Jwala, Maa Chintapurni and Mata Bhimakali are worshipped. The insult of the daughter of Himachal is such an insult that the royal family of Congress has not apologized till date. In his address at the Mandi rally, Modi targeted the Congress and made rapid attacks without naming anyone.
Political temperature rises in summer season
At this time, not only the plains but also the mountains are experiencing the heat of the month of Jyeshtha. These rallies of Narendra Modi have heated up the political atmosphere in this heat of the weather. Now that only six days of campaigning are left, Modi's arrival is considered a big relief for the Bharatiya Janata Party, which is in a tough fight with the Congress in two of the total four seats of the state, Shimla and Mandi. Kangana Ranaut is contesting from Mandi against Vikramaditya, son of the state's biggest and oldest political family, the royal family Virbhadra Pratibha Singh. The entire Congress has united against Vikramaditya and has created problems for the BJP.
Congress has made Kangana Ranaut's statements a major issue and Vikramaditya is presenting a vision for Mandi parliamentary constituency, which is one of the largest constituencies in the country in terms of area, while Kangana Ranaut is in the electoral fray with Narendra Modi's resolution of a developed India. Kangana Ranaut is a new experience in politics but former Chief Minister Jairam Thakur is working hard for her.
One thing that is in favour of BJP is that BJP has MLAs in nine out of ten seats in Mandi district, while BJP has MLAs in two seats in Kullu district and one in Bharmour. Despite this, Congress' Vikramaditya is also cashing in on the development work done by his father Virbhadra Singh during the elections. Huge crowds are also gathering in his rallies. Another problem for BJP is that there is no Modi wave like in 2014 or 2019 and neither is the Modi factor visible much. Now rallies of Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and big leaders of Congress are to be held in these parliamentary constituencies. It remains to be seen how much the life-giving and relief that BJP has got from Narendra Modi's rally remains intact from the rallies to be held by Congress.
