Aonla: From one Gandhi to the other, after controversies surrounding the hate speeches, Varun Gandhi has been prevented from holding a rally in Aonla, his mother Maneka Gandhi's constituency.
Varun has been prevented after adverse report from the local intelligence unit. The local administration feels the area is communally too sensitive.
The rally was scheduled to be held at 4 pm on Sunday evening.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, a day after the National Security Act imposed against him was deemed invalid, Varun Gandhi's rhetoric in Pilibhit was again charged.
"Everyone knows that the people of Pilibhit have lived together in peace. But that does not mean that if we are attacked we will sit and watch like eunuchs," Varun said in his speech at Pilibhit on Saturday.
The Hindu yuva samrat, as his supporters now like to call him, spent the day crisscrossing Pilibhit and addressing rallies. Though the jibes in his speech against Mayawati got just a little sharper, he didn't come on record about the revocation of NSA against him.
"When the Chief Minister visited Pilibhit, she mentioned my name 27 times. Why did she not bring up other issues?" he said.
The election is just days away now, and going by the crowds he is attracting, Varun is definitely in the fight. His jail time has added a halo to the 29-year-old that he is looking to encash on May 13.
