Jalgaon, Feb 13: Setting at rest speculation, Varun Gandhi, son of late Sanjay Gandhi and former Union minister Maneka Gandhi , will join BJP on Monday.
"With Varun joining BJP, half of the Congress will be with us while other half will be with them (Congress)", BJP general secretary Pramod Mahajan said on Thursday while addressing a public meeting at Chalisgaon, near here, after launching the 'Atal Sandesh Yatra'.
Mahajan also declared the candidature of Union Minister of State for Rural Development M K Anna Patil from Erandol in the district.
"Atal Bihari Vajpayee became the Prime MInister at all the three times when Patil was elected to Lok Sabha and this is the only reason why Vajpayee told me to declare Patil's candidature," Mahajan said. Bureau Report
