Vikramaditya said his vision of development is in front of everyone, whereas the BJP candidate is only chanting the name of Prime Miner Narendra Modi. “Politics is not a profession but a great medium of public service. For this one has to live among people and see and understand their problems,” he said. Reacting to Kangana’s remarks that only one family wants to stick to power, Vikramaditya, said, “The people of the state elected the late Virbhadra Singh as the chief miner six times. Pratibha Singh was elected as MP from Mandi three times. She is insulting the public opinion and sentiments of 70 lakh people of the state making such statements.” Vikramaditya said Kangana is also insulting senior BJP leaders and former Prime Miner Late Atal Bihari Vajpayee saying that whatever development has happened in the country has happened only after 2014. “To say that the country got independence only in 2014 is a grave insult to the freedom fighters which can never be tolerated,” he added.
