After receiving the winning certificate, Kangana said, "I am emotional at the moment. I am grateful that the people of Mandi elected the BJP and good governance of PM Modi."
Earlier today, Kangana took a dig at rival Congress contender Vikramaditya Singh, saying he might have to pack his bags and leave. She told ANI, "They will have to suffer the consequences of talking so low about a woman... And that is becoming clear today with the way we have got the lead. Mandi has not taken kindly to the insults for daughters.
She further said, "As far as my departure to Mumbai is concerned, this (Himachal Pradesh) is my 'janmabhoomi' and I will continue to serve people here. I have always said that I will work as a soldier in PM Narendra Modi's goal of 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas.' So, I am not going anywhere. Perhaps, someone else will have to pack their bags and leave. I am not going anywhere."
On the work front, Kangana will be next in Emergency, where she will play former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Earlier, the film was slated to release on June 14, however, it was postponed due to her political campaigns.
Next, Kangana will reunite with R Madhavan for an upcoming pan-India psychological thriller film.
