Poor turnout at meeting puts off Varun Gandhi

BALLIA/MAU: Apparently peeved over a low turnout at a public rally in the native village of party MP Harinarain Rajbhar in Ballia, senior BJP leader Varun Gandhi today returned without addressing party workers or media.

Gandhi, a Lok Sabha member from Sultanpur, was scheduled to address party workers in Tagunia village. Seeing only a handful of people at the meeting Gandhi refused to address them.

The BJP leader returned without even addressing the media.

Meanwhile, the BJP leader addressed a public meeting in Mau and said that he had joined politics to give it a new direction.

"The meaning of politics is not winning or losing but to serve the last person on the social ladder," he said.

The BJP MP also attacked dynastic politics and the state police saying that almost 80 per cent cases are fake or guided by politics.

Snubbing workers who were raising slogans, Gandhi said,"It seems you have come to take ticket in the next elections."
