We can't afford to be bored and lazy: Kangana Ranaut

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the newly elected MP Kangana Ranaut stressed the need to "normalise obsessive work culture". She added that Indians can't afford to be "lazy" as the country is yet to become a developed nation. Kangana re-shared a video clip of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the staffers of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) after he began his third term on Monday. She continued that the concept of weekends was nothing but "Western brainwashing".

In the video, PM Modi can be heard saying, "My every moment is for the country," Modi had said, asserting that he has promised to work round the clock to achieve the goal of India becoming a developed country by 2047." Adding to it, she wrote in the post, “We need to normalise obsessive work culture and stop with the waiting for the weekends and crib about Mondays memes, that's all western brainwashing we are not a developed nation yet."

She concluded by writing, "We can't afford to be bored and lazy at all."

Ranaut defeated Vikramaditya Singh, the son of six-time chief minister Virbhadra Singh and state Congress chief Pratibha Singh.
