INDIAN ELECTION NEWS: Varun Gandhi sings a different song. A day after the Election Commission filed a case against Varun Gandhi for his communal remarks, he said that he is the victim of a political conspiracy. Varun mentioned that he is well aware of his roots as a proud Gandhi, an Indian and is also a Hindu in equal measure.
Briefing to the media Varun Gandhi said that there was an effort to malign his faith. He told to the press that anyone attempting to identify with Hinduism was inevitably branded communal.
In his own words: "I am a victim of political conspiracy." Varun Gandhi, son of sitting Pilibhit MP and former central minister Maneka Gandhi said this on tuesday.
Gandhi added, "Nothing I have said was to incite anybody. There is a rigorous attempt to malign my faith," he said, adding "each time anyone tries to identify with Hindusim, he is being branded communal."
He also said that he is a pro-India and he is not against anybody.
BJP spokesperson, Ravi Shankar Prasad, later on the day, said, "We disapprove and disassociate ourselves from the statements made by Varun Gandhi."

I think the entire country should take pity on this kid who has lost the ability to use his brain for rational thinking, and knowing what is good for the country in which he lives in. It looks like everything has gone wrong with his upbringing. I wish he had taken a lesson on two from his cousins, Rahul and Priyanka. This country is not owned by any single community - whether major or minor, and definitely not by his family or the saffron brigade. I am sure the nation and its large electorate will ensure that we don't entrust the responsibility of running this progressive nation to such individuals. Puppy shame Varun! Ask your mom to teach you manners!!
