India should become a ‘Hindu Rashtra’, says Kangana Ranaut
The country, in the truest sense, attained freedom in 2014, said the BJP candidate in Mandi, referring to the year when Narendra Modi became the prime minister
India truly became independent only in 2014, said actor-turned-politician and BJP candidate from Mandi Lok Sabha seat, Kangana Ranaut, on Monday (May 13), adding that she wants the country to become a “Hindu Rashtra”.
“Our forefathers saw and suffered centuries of slavery under the Mughals, followed by the British,” ANI quoted her as saying. “What followed after 1947, when the country was freed of British rule, was the misgovernance of the Congress over several decades," she said.
"The country, in the truest sense, attained freedom in 2014,” she said, referring to the year when Narendra Modi became the prime minister.
“It not only marked freedom for thinking but also for Sanatan. It gave us the freedom to practice and flaunt our own religion without fear and advance the vision of making India a Hindu Rashtra," she added.
Kangana wanted to know why India wasn't declared a Hindu nation at independence. “We will work towards making India a Hindu Rashtra."
Kangana is pitted against Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh, son of former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh.
On his part, Vikramaditya Singh said earlier that Kangana had no political understanding or vision and was seeking votes only in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
