A video of Kangana Ranaut, a BJP candidate for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in the Mandi constituency, has been making the rounds on social media. The video features Kangana speaking at a public gathering, and there are claims that she said, “People will come to see me but not vote for me.” This statement has led to speculation that Kangana has accepted her defeat in the upcoming elections. Let's take a closer look at these claims and verify their accuracy.
The post in question can be found in the archived section. According to the claim, Kangana's statement about people not voting for her suggests that she has already admitted defeat in the 2024 elections. However, after further investigation, it has been found that this claim is false. During a speech at a public meeting in Tattapani, Himachal Pradesh on May 2nd, 2024, Kangana had made a comment about the Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh and his mother, Pratibha Singh. She had stated, “Congress state president Pratibha Singh, who I see as a mother figure, mentioned that the crowd gathering to see me won’t vote. They’re merely interested in seeing who I am and what kind of ‘Hussan Ki Pari’ the BJP has brought from Mumbai. It’s troubling that despite being a woman, Pratibha’s views on women aren’t in line with what’s right.” However, this video was edited and shared as a viral video, leading to the false claim being made.
Further research on the viral claim revealed a news report from the ETV Himachal Pradesh channel, featuring the longer version of the video. In this video, Kangana was discussing the Congress candidate and his mother while addressing a public gathering in Tattapani, Mandi district. She stated, “It’s disheartening to know that Prince Vikramaditya Singh didn’t treat his wife well; she claims to have suffered various forms of torture. Congress state president Pratibha Singh, who I see as a mother figure, mentioned that the crowd gathering to see me won’t vote. They’re merely interested in seeing who I am and what kind of ‘Hussan Ki Pari’ the BJP has brought from Mumbai. It’s troubling that despite being a woman, Pratibha’s views on women aren’t in line with what’s right.” It becomes clear from this statement that Kangana was not admitting defeat, but rather quoting Pratibha Singh's views on her.
Moreover, Kangana also mentioned, “I’m not some beautiful fairy, I’m just a girl from a regular family. People come to see me, the daughter of Himachal. It’s not fitting for Pratibha Singh, to use such language. Hearing such inappropriate words is distressing. It seems to me that the Congress is losing the election.” This further confirms that Kangana was not speaking about her own defeat, but rather pointing out the inappropriate language used by her opponent. Further research into the matter revealed news reports that validate Kangana's statement, which proves that the video was edited at different timestamps and shared as a viral video.
In conclusion, the video of Kangana Ranaut has been clipped to spread the false narrative that she has accepted her defeat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. This story was originally published by Factly and republished by OrissaPOST as part of the Shakti Collective.
