BJP leader Varun Gandhi visits Lakhimpur Kheri, meets farmers

LAKHIMPUR KHERI: BJP MP from Sultanpur Varun Gandhi today visited Kheri and met the farmers, hit by inclement weather, and assured them all possible help.

Varun, after arriving here, visited the farmers of Matahiya, Nayapurwa, Khalepurwa, Naugavan and other villages of Pallia and Nighasan tehsils and assured them all possible help in his individual capacity.
