The Political Implications of the Meeting
This picture and meeting have sparked political speculations. Many are speculating that Varun Gandhi may play an active role in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly elections in 2025.
Varun Gandhi’s Past Criticisms of BJP and Central Government
Before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Varun Gandhi criticized the BJP and the central government on multiple occasions. Furthermore, during the Sultanpur elections, he supported his mother, BJP candidate Menaka Gandhi, on the final day of campaigning. However, at that time, the BJP did not grant him a ticket for the Pilibhit seat.
Varun’s discontent was apparent. At an event in support of his mother, he did not wear a BJP scarf and the party’s flag was absent from the venue
