Pilhibit: BJP MP Varun Gandhi will be the BJP candidate again from the Pilibhit constituency, his spokesperson claimed on Wednesday.

The claim comes amid speculation that Gandhi, who has criticised the Narendra Modi government on several occasions in the past, may not get the BJP ticket in the Lok Sabha elections.

The representatives of Gandhi on Wednesday purchased four sets of nomination papers for contesting the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.

The MP’s spokesperson, M R Malik, said on the directions of Gandhi, he has purchased four sets of nomination papers — two in Hindi and as many in English.

Giving rest to the speculation that he might change his seat this time, he said, ”Gandhi will be the BJP candidate from this seat (Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh).” Pilibhit seat has been represented by Varun Gandhi’s mother Maneka Gandhi or him for over two decades.

Gandhi had been attacking his own party government policies in the past few years. Recently he shared dais with the BJP leaders and also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The BJP has not yet declared its candidate from the Pilibhit seat. The seat is going to the polls on April 19.
