New Delhi/IBNS: Actress-turned-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi, Kangana Ranaut, has slammed Congress in one of her fiercest attacks on the grand old party as she intensifies her campaign for the Lok Sabha elections.

Speaking at a rally, Kangana said as quoted by ANI "Other than looting, what else is Congress doing here?... today I want to ask them, they told that, they will give Rs 1,500 to all the sisters and mothers here, what happened to that money?

"They told they would give 5 lakh job opportunities, where are those jobs?...why do they give fake promises and lure people? Till when such politics will go on?..."

Last month, Kangana kick-started her Lok Sabha poll campaign from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi with a fiery speech.

Kangana addressed a massive gathering where she pitched herself as the "sister and daughter" of people from her home state.

"Don't think Kangana is a star or a heroine, consider me as your sister and daughter. All are my relatives," said the 'Queen' star in her first words as a politician.

Her words triggered "Jai Shri Ram" chants from the BJP supporters.

The 37-year-old actress, who hails from Himachal Pradesh's Bhambla, has a career spanning for two decades.
