After being denied a ticket by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from his constituency Pilibhit, Varun Gandhi on Thursday held an election campaign for his mother, Maneka Gandhi, the saffron party's candidate from Sultanpur constituency that will go to polls in the sixth phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha Election 2024 on May 25. 

“There is only one constituency in the country where its people do not call its MP as 'Sansad' but as 'Maa'...I am here not just to gather support for my mother but the mother of Sultanpur,” Varun Gandhi was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. 

Varun Gandhi, who joined the election campaign for mother Maneka said that Sultanpur's name is taken in the first category in the country. The Sultanpur Lok Sabha constituency holds immense significance as BJP leader Maneka Gandhi is contesting against her Samajwadi Party rival Ram Bhual Nishad and BSP nominee Udraj Verma, who threatens to split the OBC votes of the Akhilesh Yadav-led SP.
