New Delhi: In one of biggest jolt to Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) its sharp hardliner spokesperson Varun Gandhi is likely to quit Saffron side and there were reports that he will join hands along with his cousin brother Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi.
Now if we go according to this report then BJP Member of Parliament (MP) from Sultanpur and cousin brother of Congress Party’s Vice President Varun Gandhi may join his party in coming days.
It is believed that Rahul Gandhi may welcome his cousin brother Varun Gandhi in Congress Party. Now according to a local BJP leader from Agra believes that Varun Gandhi is not getting value which he deserves within Saffron Party as he is appropriate candidate for Chief Minister Post in Uttar Pradesh but he was completely ignored by the party.
If this update is true that this will might create a major political ripple in the world of politics, as rumors are rife that Varun Gandhi may join the Congress Party who represents Sultanpur in the Lok Sabha.
Senior Congress leader Haji Manzoor Ahmed was quoted as saying to leading Hindi news channel that Varun could be inducted into the Congress Working Committee as a member or an office-bearer.
He added that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra could become the catalyst for Varun quitting the BJP.
On the other hand, Agra city Congress ex-president and UPCC member Ram Tandon was also quoted as saying that with Rahul set to become the Congress chief, it was likely that Varun may join grand old party.
He further added that the BJP MP had never directly attacked Rahul Gandhi in his public briefings.
Varun is said to have a notable following in Pilibhit-Sultanpur-Lakhimpur Khiri areas.
Varun Gandhi likely to give biggest jolt BJP by joining Congress Party:
His mother Maneka Gandhi is an important BJP leader and is Women and Child Development minister in the Narendra Modi government.
Interestingly, on November 11, 2017, Varun had said that his surname Gandhi had helped him become a parliamentarian at the age of 29.
“I am Feroze Varun Gandhi. If my surname was not Gandhi would have I become an MP at the age of 29 years?” he had said.
However, the firebrand BJP leader had vouched for people getting equal opportunities and had hoped that an individual is not judged by his surname in India.
“Want to see an India where it doesn’t matter if I was Varun Dutta or Varun Ghosh or Varun Khan. All must get equal opportunities,” he had asserted.
Meanwhile, earlier on November 20, 2017, the Congress Working Committee had passed a resolution to make Rahul party president.
Notification for Congress president poll will be issued on December 1. The last date to file the nomination papers is December 4.
Voting will be conducted on December 16 and the results will be declared on December 19.
Rahul is expected to be the only candidate in the fray and if Varun will be inducted in Congress Party then the two cousin brothers will come together after a gap of 35 long years.
