“She should contribute to Himachal Pradesh. We stand by her, and the administration would fully support her,” the minister added.
Singh and the actor-politician have had several run-ins in the past, especially during the Lok Sabha polls last year when the two were locked in a bitter fight for the Mandi seat, with neither pulling any punches.
While Singh had termed Ranaut the “queen of controversies”, Ranaut indirectly termed the state minister “Chota Pappu”. Even as late this month, Ranaut has taken a dig at Singh, saying that “Raja Babu” was yet to come to terms with his defeat in the Lok Sabha elections.
Singh, the son of six-time chief minister Virbhadra Singh, is a scion of the erstwhile Estate of Rampur. He had criticised Ranaut on multiple occasions over her absence from her constituency. PTI BPL NSD NSD
