“I am very happy that I have come back to Sultanpur,” said Maneka Gandhi.
Sultanpur, UP:
Days after BJP MP Varun Gandhi was denied a ticket from his constituency, his mother and BJP MP Maneka Gandhi broke silence during her 10-day visit to Uttar Pradesh’s Sultanpur and expressed their happiness to be part of the party.
When asked what Varun Gandhi would do next, she replied, “Ask him what he wants to do. We will consider this after the elections. There is time.’
“I am very happy to be in the BJP. I thank Amit Shah, Prime Minister Modi and Nadda Ji for giving me the ticket. The ticket was announced very late, so there was a dilemma as to where to fight. From Pilibhit or Sultanpur. I am grateful for the decision the party has taken now,” she said.
She added, “I am very happy that I have come back to Sultanpur as this place has a history of not a single MP coming back to power in Sultanpur.”
It was her first visit to Sultanpur after getting the ticket. During her ten-day visit to the district, she will visit 101 villages of the entire Lok Sabha constituency.
She was warmly received by the party leaders and workers at various places like Katka Guptarganj, Tatianagar, Tedhui, Golaghat, Shahganj Square, Dariyapur Tiraha and Payagipur Square.
During this period, Maneka Gandhi also paid respect to the statues of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay.
BJP district president Dr. RA Verma, BJP state minister Meena Choubey, Lok Sabha in-charge Durgesh Tripathi, Lok Sabha Speaker Jagjit Singh Changu, MLA Raj Prasad Upadhyay, MLA Rajesh Gautam and spokesperson Vijay Raghuvanshi were present.
Earlier, Varun Gandhi wrote a heartfelt letter to the people of his constituency, saying that his relationship with Pilibhit of Uttar Pradesh will end only with his last breath.
