Varun & Maneka Gandhi Out of BJP National Executive Body After Tweets on Farmers

"I haven't attended a single NEC for the last five years. I do not think I was on it," Varun Gandhi reacted.

The names of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders Varun Gandhi and his mother Maneka Gandhi were dropped from the fresh list of the BJP national executive. The list was posted on Thursday, 7 October.

"I have not attended a single NEC for the last five years. I do not think I was on it," Varun Gandhi said, reacting to the development, according to news agency ANI.

Union Minister Smriti Irani, however, has made a comeback to the executive team, reported IANS. Film actor Mithun Chakraborty, Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Suvendu Adhikari, and many leaders from other parties who switched over to the BJP, have also been included, the report said.
