Himachal Pradesh Revenue Minister Jagat Negi fired a crass barb at Bharatiya Janata Party MP and actor Kangana Ranaut on Wednesday, declaring she had only visited flood-affected areas of the hill state after rains had subsided "because (otherwise) her make-up would have been ruined".
Ms Ranaut is the BJP MP from Himachal's Mandi.
"When everything became all right... she reached there. She did not want to come during the rains because her make-up would have been ruined. And then nobody would have known if it was Kangana or her mother," Negi smirked in the state Assembly.
