New Delhi /Lucknow: On projecting Varun Gandhi as the state’s BJP chief ministerial candidate, Union minister Maneka Gandhi said, “it is a matter of future.”
However, BJP state president Laxmikant Bajpai said “In BJP, the party high command takes such decisions whether it would contest election by projecting a leader as the chief ministerial candidate. Besides its too early to comment.”
The meeting was organised by Varun Gandhi Youth Brigade, during which his supporters reportedly raised slogans of “Hamara CM kaisa ho, Varun Gandhi jaisa ho (Our Chief Minister should be like Varun Gandhi)”.
Ms Gandhi, also attacked Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and the Akhilesh Yadav government for “intentionally harassing the people of Uttar Pradesh” after the Lok Sabha elections, in which 71 out of 80 constituencies were clinched by the BJP; the SP could only manage to get five seats.
She alleged that BJP supporters and people of the state were being deprived of basic amenities like power, water and road infrastructure after the general election results. The Union minister claimed the people would teach the SP supremo a lesson in the next UP Assembly elections.
