KANGANA RANAUT: 1 LAC PER MONTH AS MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT AND OTHER PERKS ACTRESS AND BJP MP WILL RECEIVE

She sparked a debate on nepotism in Bollywood, was given security when she compared the Maharashtra government to PoK and was banned from Twitter for comments on violence in West Bengal. Unabashedly political and outspoken, actor Kangana Ranaut is now headed for Parliament as the BJP’s MP from Mandi.

As she makes her political debut, Ranaut, who defeated the Congress’ Vikramaditya Singh by 74,755 votes from her home state Himachal Pradesh, will be the cynosure of many an eye in the Lok Sabha.

Will she be like some of her colleagues and be quiet in the lower house or keep to her reputation of speaking her mind?

If her track record is anything to go by, it will be the latter.

However, there have been multiple reports doing the rounds about her monthly salary and other perks. The MP is likely to receive one lac per month as Member of Parliament and will also be given 2,000 rupees as a daily allowance for food, lodging, and other expenses during parliamentary sessions and meetings.

As constituency allowance, Ranaut will receive Rs 70,000 per month and 60,000 rupees as her office expenses.

When trends indicated she was going to win her election, the four-time National Award winner said, “Heartfelt gratitude to all the people of Mandi for this love and trust… This victory belongs to all of you, this is the victory of your trust in Prime Minister Modi and BJP, this is the victory of Sanatan and in the honour of Mandi.”

The “Queen” star was not the only actor seeking votes. Along with her were fellow BJP debutant “Ramayan” star Arun Govil, elected from Meerut, two-time Mathura MP Hema Malini, and TMC’s candidate Shatrughan Sinha from Asansol.
