Kangana Ranaut faces backlash from Congress over 'bring aadhaar to meet me' remark
PTC News Desk: The Congress party is furious after Bollywood actress and newly elected BJP MP Kangana Ranaut ordered residents of her Mandi Lok Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh to carry their Aadhaar Cards if they wanted to visit her.
Speaking with reporters, Ms. Ranaut added that in order to avoid any inconvenience, the reason for their visit must be documented in writing.
Since a lot of people travel to Himachal Pradesh, having an Aadhaar card from the Mandi region is required. In order to save you inconvenience, your job pertaining to the constituency should also be included in the letter," the speaker stated.
"Tourists come so much that common people face a lot of inconveniences," she stated.
She added that individuals in Mandi may visit her office in the city, while those in the northern part of Himachal Pradesh might visit her at home in Manali.
"It is better when you meet in person regarding your work," she stated.

Congress Attacks Kangana Ranaut
After Kangana Ranaut defeated him for the Mandi Lok Sabha seat, Congress politician Vikramaditya Singh insulted his opponent, claiming that people "don't need to bring the Aadhaar card" if they want to visit him.
We are the representatives of the people. Therefore, it is our duty to interact with citizens from all regions of the state. It does not matter if it is a minor assignment, a large task, a policy problem, or personal work; identification is not necessary. "When someone visits a public representative, it's usually for work-related matters," Mr. Singh, the state's current minister of public works, informed reporters.
The son of state Congress head Pratibha Singh and six-time chief minister of Himachal Pradesh, Virbhadra Singh, said, "Asking people to bring their papers for a meeting is not right."
