BJP MP Varun Gandhi, who had swapped constituency with his mother Maneka Gandhi in the recent election, said he will not leave Pilibhit and will continue to serve the people of this constituency.

BJP leader Varun Gandhi, while campaigning for his mother Maneka Gandhi in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh in a reference to the SP-BSP candidate said 'I get my shoelaces untied by such people'

Varun Gandhi has been fielded by BJP from Pilibhit- a seat which he had won in 2009 and 2014.

Murli Manohar Joshi had won from Kanpur in 2014 but was told by the party leadership that he would not be fielded in the coming elections.

Gandhi said many talented youngsters are unable to join and shine in politics as they do not have influential fathers and godfathers.

Senior Muslim leader Haji Jameeluddin said Varun was being ignored in the BJP and that no other leader other than Narendra Modi is allowed to say his or her 'Mann Ki Baat' on public forums.

'One of our MPs was just expressing his opinion, that humanitarian consideration must be seen on the Rohingyas and that they should be retained on the Indian soil, but ultimately the Government of India takes the decision'
