Varun Gandhi In Allahabad

Varun Gandhi skipped an important meeting of the BJP's lawmakers called by party president Amit Shah on Monday evening, adding to the buzz around the young member of Parliament ever since his rockstar-style arrival at the party's two-day convention in Allahabad over the weekend.

Hundreds of hoardings featuring Varun Gandhi, fans and supporters cheering lustily as he drove in for the BJP's national executive in a cavalcade of over two dozen cars and a roadshow as he arrived in town - the buzz that Varun Gandhi generated in Allahabad was second only to the attention Prime Minister Narendra Modi drew.

Ahead of the BJP's two-day National Executive meet that begins in Allahabad this evening with focus on battleground Uttar Pradesh, hoardings on streets of the city indicate a growing conflict within the party over who would be its face in state elections early next year.
