Congress lauds Kangana Ranaut for opening 'pure veg' cafe, irks party supporters

Naming her cafe 'The Mountain Story cafe', which she describes as a long-cherished dream, will open its doors to guests on Valentine's Day.

While her fans and supporters celebrated the announcement, a surprising congratulatory message came from the Congress.

"We are happy to learn about your new 'pure vegetarian' restaurant. Hope you'll serve some amazing Himachali vegetarian dishes for all tourists. Wishing all success for this venture!" wrote the official handle of the Kerala unit of Congress.

The post appeared out of character given Ranaut is a BJP MP and often clashed with Congress leaders.

It triggered immediate reactions from social media users with many questioning whether the Kerala Congress account had been hacked.

"I am 100% sure this account is being run by a high school student on a lunch break!" said a user.

Criticism also came from Congress supporters who found the message unnecessary.

"You guys keep tweeting such cheap posts and then wonder why you are losing elections? It takes a great deal of stupidity to completely ignore the ethos of this country," wrote one.

"Is this account hacked?" asked another.

Kangana Ranaut shared a video of The Mountain Story cafe a few days ago, showing its interiors and the scenic beauty surrounding it.

The video features wooden furniture, dimly lit chandeliers, and a traditional Himachali aesthetic.
