In UP village, the 'other Gandhi' gives tough competition to Rahul - dnaindia.com
- Allahabad:
- Amid the showering of marigold petals from rooftops and cheers of “Jai Shri Ram” by supporters, Varun Gandhi, the national secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has pushed the acceleration pedal in Uttar Pradesh (UP) to revive the party in the state.
- Although the party has officially not named him as its face in UP, the ‘Other Gandhi’ is enjoying popularity among the youth with blessings from the high command.Walking through the meandering lanes of UP’s villages, Varun, dressed in a spotless white churidar-kurta, is trying to create a roadmap to play a bigger role in state politics. This was his fourth rally in UP and he is planning 15 more. The next rally is scheduled in Aligarh on June 2.
- “Everyone talks about the youth these days, but no one really does anything for them. If the BJP is able to form the government, we will start a new scheme and would give interest-free loans of Rs10 lakh to youngsters,” said Varun as the crowd stood up and shouted his name in appreciation.
