Following Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut's nomination as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the Mandi Lok Sabha seat, Himachal Pradesh's Congress members have voiced their skepticism. Minister Vikramaditya Singh raised concerns about Ranaut's ability to allocate sufficient time to the constituency, given her Bollywood commitments.

Singh refrained from directly commenting on the BJP's decision but emphasized the importance of full-time political dedication, suggesting that Ranaut's allegiance might remain with her film career despite her political endeavor. He stressed the electorate's dilemma between choosing a seasoned politician or opting for celebrity status.
