'If Not As An MP, I'll Serve You As A Son': Varun Gandhi's Emotional Letter To Pilibhit

The Bharatiya Janata Party's Janata Party's Janata Party's Varun Gandhi - not picked to defend his Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit - has written to the people of his soon-to-be former constituency to say that "even though my tenure is coming to an end... my relationship (with you) cannot end till my last breath".

Mr Gandhi also said he considered himself fortunate to have had the opportunity to "serve the great people of Pilibhit", and that their "ideals, simplicity, and kindness... had a huge contribution in my upbringing and development". "Being your representative has been the greatest honour of my life, and I have always championed your interests to the best of my ability," the BJP leader said.

"If not as an MP then as a son, I am committed to serve you throughout my life and my doors will always remain open for you... as before. I came into politics to raise the voice of the common man, and today I seek your blessings to always continue doing this work, no matter the cost," he said.
