00:00 Today, our children are roaming around without any reason.

00:04 This is our biggest request.

00:06 Any government, be it BJP or Congress,

00:10 should think about the children in the future.

00:13 Hi, I'm Tanul Thakur from Outlook Magazine,

00:22 reporting out of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh,

00:25 where Congress's Vikram Aditya Singh is up against the BJP's Kangana Ranaut.

00:29 Tailing Kangana Ranaut's election campaign

00:32 gives you a fair indication of what her electoral tenor is.

00:36 She seems to be speaking a lot about what PM Narendra Modi has done for the nation

00:42 vis-a-vis the different welfare schemes that his government has rolled out.

00:47 She, of course, rubishes the Congress party,

00:49 and she talks a lot about the Nari Shakti

00:53 and gives different kinds of promises and confidence to the people across villages in Mandi.

00:59 We want to bring back Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister.

01:05 He has done so many good things, like removing the 370-day ban,

01:14 and he has done a lot for women, including the triple talaq.

01:19 He has also given a lot of evidence in the Ram Mandir.

01:24 The Hindutva sentiment is very much strong in Mandi,

01:28 and they almost look up to Modi as this reverential figure.

01:33 Modi has become a brand ambassador,

01:39 and people around the world have shown so much love for Narendra Modi,

01:45 that it is very difficult to put it into words.

01:49 Modi's wave has increased by 100 times since 2014.

01:55 It remains to be seen if the Modi wave is strong enough for Kangana Ranaut to ride on it effortlessly,

02:02 at the moment it definitely looks like it is.

02:05 For me, the Ram Mandir is not a big deal.

02:08 Ramji was there before, and he will be there after.

02:15 Every child should work hard.

02:18 Today's generation has education, but they don't have work.

02:25 Something that very few, if any, in Mandi spoke about,

02:28 which is the problem of rampant unemployment.

02:31 According to him, the BJP is not doing anything about it,

02:36 it's not even talking about it.

02:38 talking about it.
