BJP leader Varun Gandhi courted controversy when, on a campaign rally for his mother in UP’s Sultanpur on Saturday, 4 May, he said people like the BSP candidate from the constituency “untie his shoelaces”.
“A human being without dignity is as good as dead. I just want to say that you don’t need to fear anyone except God. No one can do anything to you. I am standing here. I am the son of Sanjay Gandhi and I get my shoelace untied by such people," Gandhi said.
