During the public address, the BJP candidate also hit out at Congress for "doing cheap politics" and stated that the grand old party did not accept her nomination from Mandi. She also criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the 'Shakti in Hindus' row.
"Their leader Rahul Gandhi talks about destroying the 'shakti' in Hindus. Their spokesperson makes derogatory remarks about the women of Mandi. Mandi has been named after Rishi Madav. Mandi is the place where Rishi Parashar sat in penance. Mandi organises the biggest 'mela' on 'Mahashivratri' every year and they make such disrespectful remarks against women of Mandi. But what else can be expected from them?" Kangana stated.

Earlier, Kanagana's mother, Asha Ranaut who was also present at her roadshow, reacted to Congress leader Supriya Shrinate's post against her daughter.
"She too has daughters and daughters-in-law at home. If she speaks like that then they should think that if someone speaks like that against their own children, how would they feel? I too have that same pain in me. Why should I call out the entire party if one individual speaks derogatory language? Not everyone is bad," Kangana's mother stated.
