New Delhi: BJP general secretary Varun Gandhi, who was exonerated of all charges of making hate speeches before the 2009 Lok Sabha polls, is now being accused of “brazenly subverting the entire judicial process to get his name cleared”, a report by news magazine Tehelka said.
An expose by Tehelka magazine yesterday said that its “investigation proves that not only did Varun make the venomous speeches he is accused of, he has compounded the original wrong by brazenly subverting the entire judicial process to get his name cleared”.
Varun Gandhi was appointed a national general secretary of the BJP in the recasting of the party’s national team after Rajnath Singh took over as BJP president.
Varun Gandhi was accused of making hate speeches while campaigning for his first election to the Lok Sabhha from Pilibhit constituency, which was earlier represented by his mother Menaka Gandhi. Tehelka said: “He has also indulged in anti-party activities, deliberately making his own party candidate lose an assembly election in UP in 2012 so that a Samajwadi Party leader sympathetic to him could win and help him fix the cases against him.” IANS
