Denied LS ticket, he will campaign for mother Maneka in Sultanpur
OVER a week after the BJP denied him the ticket for the Pilibhit Lok Sabha seat, Varun Gandhi on Thursday wrote an open letter to the people of Pilibhit Lok Sabha constituency, asserting that his bonding with them will continue.
“If not as an MP, then certainly at least as a son, my relationship with the people of Pilibhit remains till the last breath of mine,” he wrote in an emotional letter.
Varun Gandhi has been critical of the policies of the Modi government on social media even after being a party MP. He shared his letter on ‘X.’ “Even though I am not able to contest elections, I will continue to serve the people of Pilibhit till last breath,” he wrote.
