Bharatiya Janata Party leader and grandson of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Varun Gandhi on Sunday, 7 April, praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that no Prime Minister brought glory to India like Modi, ANI reported.
Gandhi, while addressing a public gathering in Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit, said:
“Vajpayee ji was from a normal family but had never seen abject poverty. Modi ji is from an economically weaker family. Honestly speaking, some people of my family have also been prime minister but the honour that prime minister Modi has brought to the country hasn’t been seen in long time.”
He also said PM Modi is “living for the country and would die for it” as well.
“In five years, Prime Minister Modi has not a single accusation of corruption. There are no corruption charges on him. For who would he do corruption when he has no one else in his family? This person is only living for the country and would die for the country. He is only worried about the country”
Varun is contesting Lok Sabha polls from Pilibhit constituency which was long held by his mother Maneka Gandhi. The constituency will go for polls on 23 April and the result will be announced on 23 May.
