Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Varun Gandhi pens emotional note after missing out on BJP ticket for Pilibhit

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket from the Pilibhit constituency in Uttar Pradesh was given to Uttar Pradesh Public Works Minister Jitin Prasada. This seat was won by Varun Gandhi since 2009 on 3 consecutive terms. 

In light of having missed out on the Lok Sabha ticket Varun Gandhi penned an emotional note to the people of the constituency. “Today as I am writing this letter, countless memories have made me emotional. I remember that 3 year old little boy who came to Pilibhit for the first time in 1983 holding his mother's finger, how did he know that one day this land would become his workplace and the people here would become his family. I consider myself fortunate that I got the opportunity to serve the great people of Pilibhit for years. Even though my tenure as an MP is coming to an end, my relationship with Pilibhit cannot end till my last breath. If not as an MP, then as a son, I am committed to serve you throughout my life and my doors will always remain open for you as before. I came into politics to raise the voice of the common man and today I seek your blessings to always continue doing this work, no matter what the cost. The relationship between me and Pilibhit is one of love and trust, which is far above any political merit. I was, am and will be yours.,’ Varun Gandhi stated in his letter.
