'Kya Bolu Mein Media Ke Saamne?': Kangana Ranaut Pulls Up Officials Over Unspent MP Funds - VIDEO

Mandi : A video of actor-turned-politician and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kangana Ranaut in an unusual avatar has gone viral on social media. The Mandi MP, who is known for her outspoken remarks during media interactions, was seen losing her cool while reprimanding officials over the slow utilisation of funds allocated under the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS).…

BJP MP Kangana Ranaut became increasingly frustrated with officials during a District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee meeting in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. She questioned the lack of utilization of funds and the slow progress of development projects in her constituency. Ranaut alleged that around half of the ₹11 crore allocated had not been used, and some funds had been taken but not put to use.

She urged the officials to put pressure on those responsible to return the public money. Ranaut also expressed concern over a backlog of funds from the previous year that remained unused. She criticized the officials for the slow pace of development work, stating that only around ₹5 crore worth of work remained in the Mandi area.

Ranaut further complained about the negative publicity surrounding the lack of progress and alleged that the state government was creating obstacles for several road projects worth ₹75 crore. She warned that if there was no visible improvement, she would prepare a formal report and send it to the Centre.
