Himachal Pradesh Congress Chief Pratibha Singh Confirms Vikramaditya Singh to Contest Against Kangana Ranaut in Mandi Lok Sabha Election

Himachal Pradesh Congress chief Pratibha Singh has officially confirmed that her son, Vikramaditya Singh, will be contesting against Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut in the upcoming Mandi Lok Sabha election. The announcement comes amidst a heated political atmosphere in the state.

During a recent interaction with the media, Pratibha Singh disclosed that the decision to field Vikramaditya as a candidate was made to introduce a young face from Mandi in the electoral battleground. The move is seen as a strategic one by the Congress party.

The Mandi Lok Sabha seat is crucial for both parties, with the BJP nominating Kangana Ranaut, while the Congress has placed its faith in Vikramaditya Singh. The election campaign has already witnessed fiery exchanges between the two contenders.

35-year-old Vikramaditya Singh, a minister in Himachal Pradesh, hails from a political family, being the son of former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh. His entry into politics marked a new chapter for the young leader, who has quickly risen within the ranks of the Congress.

Amidst speculation of potential defection to the BJP earlier this year, Vikramaditya Singh faced a crisis within the party. However, after intervention from the top leadership, he withdrew his resignation and reaffirmed his allegiance to the Congress.

Commenting on the developments, Pratibha Singh expressed confidence in the Congress’s position in Mandi, emphasizing the historical support of the constituency towards the party. The face-off between Vikramaditya and Kangana Ranaut is expected to intensify as the election date draws near.
