Varun Gandhi feels 'cheated' due to BJP snub, may not contest Lok Sabha polls

India Today  

Varun Gandhi, the sitting BJP MP from Pilibhit, feels "cheated" after the party replaced him with former Congress leader Jitin Prasada to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls from the constituency in Uttar Pradesh. In its fifth list of candidates, the BJP dropped Varun Gandhi from the Pilibhit Lok Sabha seat but retained his mother, Maneka Gandhi, from Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh. Prasada, the former Congress leader who joined the BJP in 2021, was given the ticket from Pilibhit in place of Varun Gandhi. Varun Gandhi allegedly fell out of the BJP's favour after he criticised the Yogi Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh on several occasions.
