BJP perhaps will not give the ticket to Varun Gandhi to contest from Pilibhit source says. At the same time, the BJP has given a ticket to mother Maneka Gandhi from Sultanpur. Varun Gandhi was ready to contest from Pilibhit as an independent candidate or as an SP candidate supported by the Congress party a source says. He also directed his team to purchase nomination forms and ready with one Jeep and two motorcycles in each village for campaigning source says. Later, all the enthusiasm fizzled out, and no further directions were issued, source says. It’s presumed that Maneka Gandhi convinced Varun not to take the fight with the ruling BJP at this moment source says. Maneka Gandhi has a very strong hold on voters of Pilibhit because of her long association since 1989 source says. Jatin Prasad, PWD minister in the Yogi government is to contest on BJP ticket and it will be interesting to see how he will perform in coming elections source says.
