A video of BJP MP Varun Gandhi addressing party workers in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, has gone viral, sparking both speculation and interpretation. In the video, a seer standing near Varun Gandhi’s side receives a phone call, which he promptly disconnects as Gandhi continues to speak. The incident led to a humorous exchange and comments.
Varun Gandhi paused his speech and addressed the seer, suggesting he take the call, saying, “Maharaj-ji, take the call. What difference will it make? Probably you are getting some important call.” Party workers initially tried to pull the seer away from Gandhi, but the MP intervened, quipping, “Don’t do this to him. You never know when Maharaj ji becomes the chief minister. What will happen to us then?”

The incident raised speculations and interpretations, particularly in relation to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who is known for his attire as a sadhu (saint) and holds the title of Gorakshpeethadheeshwar of Gorakshpeeth.
In addition to the phone call incident, Varun Gandhi appealed to voters to make informed decisions during elections. He encouraged people to vote after considering their options carefully, rather than making decisions based solely on slogans like “Bharat Mata ki Jai” or “Jai Shri Ram.” He emphasized that voters should not merely become numbers after casting their votes.
Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, speculation surrounds Varun Gandhi’s potential political affiliations. There have been rumors that he might join the Congress party. Varun Gandhi has represented the Pilibhit constituency since 2009, succeeding his mother Maneka Gandhi as the BJP candidate.
The viral video has garnered attention not only for the phone call interruption but also for the playful interaction and its potential implications in the political landscape, leading to discussions about Yogi Adityanath’s role and Varun Gandhi’s future political moves.
