Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, BJP's candidate from Mandi Kangana Ranaut responded to Congress criticism by calling Himachal Pradesh minister Vikramaditya Singh 'Chhota Pappu' and accusing the party of attacking her character. Meanwhile, PM Modi addressed a rally in Udhampur targeting the INDIA bloc for their 'Mughal mindset' and using videos of non-veg food during Navratri to instigate people's beliefs. The central election committee is also set to meet to discuss party candidates for Punjab, Haryana, Bihar and Delhi for the upcoming polls.
