Rahul Gandhi on Varun joining Bharat Jodo Yatra: ‘Can’t accept his ideology’

Rahul Gandhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday opened up on the possibility of his cousin and BJP MP Varun Gandhi joining his Bharat Jodo Yatra. He said he was open to meeting Varun and hugging him but he cannot accept the ideology of his estranged cousin.

Rahul was responding to a question whether his estranged cousin and BJP MP Varun Gandhi could join the Bharat Jodo Yatra. He said that it could be problematic as their ideologies don’t match.

Varun Gandhi is the son of Sanjay and Maneka Gandhi, grandson of former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi and the great-grandson of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.

A problem for Varun

“Varun Gandhi is in the BJP and if he walks here, it might be a problem for him,” Rahul Gandhi said at a press conference in Punjab's Hoshiarpur, where he is leading the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Rahul Gandhi said he cannot accept Varun Gandhi’s ideology. “My family has an ideology, Varun adopted another and I can't accept the ideology he adopted. I cannot go to the RSS office, I'll have to be beheaded before that," the Congress leader said.

Rahul’s remarks ended the speculation about Varun Gandhi joining the Bharat Jodo Yatra, and eventually, the Congress. The BJP MP has been tweeting his stand on people-centric issues, in newspaper pieces and in public and Parliament speeches. Many a time they are not in line with the BJP’s official position.

‘Varun has personal opinions on issues’

This has caused discomfiture and embarrassment to the central government. Varun’s remarks have often given ammunition to the opposition to attack the BJP. However, BJP has tried to dismiss these remarks by saying that the three-time MP, is “fond of giving personal opinions on a daily basis.”

Varun’s mother Maneka Gandhi is also a BJP MP from Uttar Pradesh. The mother and son don’t use the party’s name in their Twitter bios. They are not part of PM Modi’s council of ministers or any important BJP panel.
