The Mandi Lok Sabha constituency in Himachal Pradesh saw a significant contest in the 2024 Indian general election. The results were announced on June 4, 2024, with Kangna Ranaut of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerging victorious by a margin of 74,755 votes over Vikramaditya Singh of the Indian National Congress (INC).
Key Highlights
- Kangna Ranaut (BJP) Wins Mandi Seat: Kangna Ranaut secured 537,022 votes, while Vikramaditya Singh of the INC trailed behind with 453,760 votes.
- BJP Sweep in Himachal Pradesh: The BJP won all four Lok Sabha seats in Himachal Pradesh, with Anurag Thakur winning from Hamirpur, Suresh Kashyap from Shimla, and Dr Rajeev Bhardwaj from Kangra.
- Voter Turnout: The voter turnout in Himachal Pradesh was 71 per cent, indicating significant participation in the election.
Factors Influencing the Outcomes
- Voter Turnout: The high voter turnout in Himachal Pradesh likely played a significant role in shaping the outcomes, with the BJP benefiting from the increased participation.
- Demographic Shifts: The state’s demographics, including the growing influence of the younger population and increasing urbanization, may also have influenced the outcomes.
Challenges faced by the Indian National Congress in Mandi( Himachal Pradesh )
The Indian National Congress faced several challenges in the Mandi Lok Sabha constituency in Himachal Pradesh during the 2024 Indian general election. Some of these challenges included:
- Surprise BJP Candidate: The BJP’s decision to field Kangana Ranaut, a Bollywood actress from Mandi, was seen as a surprise and a challenge for the Congress. Kangana’s popularity and the media attention surrounding her candidacy added to the complexity of the election.
- Local Issues: The Congress faced challenges in addressing local issues that were critical to the voters in Mandi. These issues included flood relief, the Agnipath scheme, and the plight of apple growers, which were seen as more pressing concerns than nationalistic themes.
- Voter Dissatisfaction: There was significant voter dissatisfaction with the BJP government at the Centre, particularly regarding its response to the 2023 floods and implementing the Old Pension Scheme. This dissatisfaction could have potentially benefited the Congress.
- Competition from Other Parties: The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) was also contesting all four Lok Sabha seats in Himachal Pradesh, which could have split the anti-BJP vote and made it harder for the Congress to win.
- Historical Significance: Mandi has traditionally been a stronghold of the Congress, and the party faced pressure to maintain its dominance in the constituency. This added to the challenge of winning the seat.
- Kangana’s Popularity: Kangana Ranaut’s popularity and the media attention surrounding her candidacy made her a formidable opponent for the Congress. Her ability to connect with voters and her perceived authenticity could have been a challenge for the Congress candidate, Vikramaditya Singh.
