In a heartfelt visit to her home state of Himachal Pradesh, actor-turned-politician and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut expressed her deep sorrow and frustration over the lack of government support for the flood victims. The severe floods and landslides caused by heavy rainfall have left a trail of destruction, claiming lives and sweeping away infrastructure across the state.
Ranaut, who represents Mandi in the Lok Sabha, visited the flood-hit areas to assess the damage and inspect the ongoing relief and rescue operations. The actress-turned-politician was visibly emotional as she met with the victims, hugging them and consoling their pain.
“People have lost everything. In the vastness of that loss, I feel immense pain and grief. Our only hope is Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Ranaut wrote on social media, sharing photos of her visit.
However, Ranaut was quick to point out the lack of support from the state government. “It is also very shameful that flood-affected people are not getting any help from the state government.. wherever I am going in flood-affected areas, helpless people are complaining about the cruel and unconcerned treatment of the state government towards them,” she said.
The floods in Himachal Pradesh have caused significant damage, with reports estimating a loss of Rs 662 crore since the onset of the monsoon on June 27. The state has been grappling with the aftermath of the devastating floods, and the focus remains on recovery and rebuilding efforts.
As Himachal Pradesh deals with the consequences of another catastrophic flood season, the local authorities have pledged relentless support until normalcy is restored across the state. However, Ranaut’s visit has highlighted the urgent need for the state government to step up and provide the necessary aid to the affected communities.
Ranaut’s visit to the flood-affected areas has not only shed light on the plight of the victims but also raised questions about the effectiveness of the state government’s response to the disaster. As the actress-turned-politician continues to mobilize support for the flood victims, it remains to be seen how the state government will address the concerns raised by Ranaut and the affected communities.
