According to sources, the BJP will not field Varun Gandhi and his mother as candidates in the Lok Sabha elections. Sources are saying that there is less possibility of his going to Congress because the allegation of familyism in Congress will become stronger. In such a situation, sources say that Varun Gandhi and Maneka Gandhi can join the Samajwadi Party. It is discussed that Varun Gandhi from Amethi can be a common candidate from the opposition. Maneka Gandhi will contest elections from Sultanpur.
According to sources, from the year 2021 itself, Varun Gandhi has stopped participating in party-related events. Now he holds his own public meetings. In the past, when the BJP launched a ‘Maha Sampark Abhiyan’ on the completion of nine years of the Modi government, Varun Gandhi did not participate in it. The BJP high command is angry with him due to this.
Viral video Varun Gandhi’s rebellious attitude
A video clip of Varun Gandhi, BJP MP from Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, is going viral, in which he is talking to a monk on stage during a public meeting.
In the video, Varun Gandhi is seen addressing the workers from the stage, only then the sadhus standing nearby start talking on the phone.
When the rest of the people standing on the dais reprimand the monk for doing so, Varun Gandhi says- “Hey, don’t interrupt them, don’t know when Maharaj will become the CM.”
Varun Gandhi stops the speech in the middle and says, “Maharaj ji, take the phone, what difference does it make, maybe there is an urgent call.”
After this, other workers start pushing the sadhu standing on the dais, on which Varun Gandhi calls the sadhu to him and tells the workers, “You absolutely do not do this to him, what will happen to us if he becomes the chief minister tomorrow. “Explain the speed of time.”
After this Varun Gandhi says to the monk- “Maharaj ji, I feel that good times are coming.”
BJP MP Varun Gandhi is always in the headlines because of his statements against his party and government.
This statement of Varun Gandhi, who has been isolated in the party, is being considered as a taunt on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Varun Gandhi often gives such statements, which do not match the BJP’s party line at all.
Recently, in an article written for The Hindu newspaper, he said on the mission of making the country’s 5 trillion economy that the country needs to make a better public welfare system before that.
91 percent of people in the country are working in such sectors where they do not get any social security.
This article by Varun Gandhi was aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claim in which he talks about making the country a 5 trillion economy by 2025.
Varun Gandhi’s stand has created problems for the BJP on many occasions in the past.
He had supported the farmers protesting against the agriculture bill, those farmers who had taken to the streets against the policies of the Modi government.
It is being claimed in many reports that Varun Gandhi’s statements may prove costly for him. It is also being claimed that Varun Gandhi’s ticket may be cut from Pilibhit in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
How is the relationship between Yogi and Varun Gandhi?
It is believed that Varun Gandhi considered himself a strong contender for the post of Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh before the 2017 assembly elections. But when the BJP got a majority in the state, the two names that came up were Manoj Sinha and Yogi Adityanath. Varun Gandhi’s name was not even on the list of candidates.
To date, no picture of the courtesy meeting between Yogi Adityanath and Varun Gandhi has surfaced. Normally MPs go to meet the CM of the state but no such meeting took place between the two. The situation is such that Varun Gandhi has not only been sidelined by the top leadership of BJP, he has no say in the state unit either.
A local journalist says, “Before 2017, there was a BJP meeting in Allahabad and posters were put up indicating that Varun Gandhi is the face of the CM post. The central leadership of the BJP did not like this. After this, Varun Gandhi was removed from the post of General Secretary and removed from the National Executive. Despite this, Varun Gandhi has been continuously giving such statements which are different from the party line. There is no personal issue between Yogi Adityanath and Varun Gandhi, but this rift is regarding the post of CM.”
