The Mandi Lok Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh is being contested by two of the state's wealthiest individuals: Vikramaditya Singh, a member of the former Rampur "royal family" and son of six-time chief minister Virbhadra Singh, and Kangana Ranaut of the BJP. 

Kangana depends on her star status, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the Ram temple. Vikramaditya hopes to carry on the legacy of his father, Virbhadra Singh, and state Congress president Pratibha Singh, Mandi's incumbent MP.

"It feels like a festival... The vote for freedom has come after the sacrifice of our freedom fighters...Participate enthusiastically in the grand celebration of democracy and cast your vote. - 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘂𝘁 #LokSabhaElections2024    #KanganaRanaut #ModiAgain… pic.twitter.com/QL2rk2DvhL

The Mandi seat is essential to the Congress since it is considered a stronghold of the Virbhadra family. Pratibha Devi Singh, the late leader's widow, retains the position. She won it for Congress in the by-election called after the death of then-BJP MP Ram Swaroop Sharma.

The Mandi Lok Sabha seat has 13,77,173 voters, with 6,98,666 males and 6,78,504 females. The vast constituency spans six districts and includes 17 assembly parts.

Elections in Himachal Pradesh are underway. The BJP, which won all four Lok Sabha seats in the state in the 2019 elections, hopes to repeat the feat this time.
