Question

.cshtml

<li>@Html.ActionLink("Tools", "Index", new { Area = "", Controller = "Tools" })</li>

.css

a:active
{
    font-weight: bold;
    background: #F96611;
    border: 3px solid #FFB380;
}

a:active works only between mouse click press and release. But I need the menu to be in highlighted after the mouse click of a menu. Thanks

You cant add in css. .active applies for click only but not for active state. you can use the below jquery code for adding class on click

$('li').click(function() {
  $(this).addClass('youractiveclass'); 
})
