Lucknow: After being denied a ticket to contest from Pilbhit, BJP leader Varun Gandhi came out for the first time on Thursday to campaign for her mother Maneka Gandhi from the Sultanpur Lok Sabha constituency.
He did not speak in support of the BJP and said, “I have come to Sultanpur to only campaign for my mother”.
“My father Sanjay Gandhi had contested from here, now my mother is seeking votes from here. So Sultanpur is my motherland,” he added.
Varun claimed that he has no enmity towards the candidates of other parties including the INDIA bloc candidate.
In Sultanpur, Maneka is facing Samajwadi Party rival Ram Bhual Nishad and BSP nominee Udraj Verma. She is contesting from the seat for the second consecutive time. In 2019, she had won by a margin of around 14,000 votes.
