MP Varun Gandhi’s by his visit to Pilibhit this week has firmly demonstrated his unwavering loyalty towards the BJP. By actively participating in his party’s events and by acknowledgement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decisions, he has unequivocally reaffirmed his commitment. He has served a direct message to his adversaries, dispelling any rumors of his leaving BJP that were being circulated for some time.
Two years ago, amidst the farmers’ movement, Varun Gandhi voiced his support for the farmers’ demands and called for the repeal of all three farm laws.
Consequently, it was perceived that he was dissenting against his own government. Moreover, concerns were raised by him about inflation and unemployment issues, and he extended assistance to students preparing for job examinations.
Such actions fueled speculation about his potential departure from the party, with recent reports suggesting his possible affiliation with the Congress.
However, Varun never mentioned any intentions of leaving the party or initiating contact with the Congress. Despite this, during the Bharat Jodo Yatra last year, Rahul Gandhi, the supreme leader of the Congress, made unnecessary comments about Varun, signaling his opposition to Varun’s potential entry into the Congress.
Now, as activities related to the Lok Sabha elections are gaining momentum, Varun has once again come under the spotlight. Sources indicate that his opponents have approached the party’s high command regarding this matter. However, despite raising questions on government policies regarding common issues, Varun has refrained from criticizing his leaders and the party. Consequently, it is believed that the party will grant him a ticket for the upcoming elections. Furthermore, survey reports suggest that Varun is the most popular figure in his parliamentary constituency, further strengthening his position within the party.
