New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party MP Shyama Charan Gupta on Saturday hit out at Union Minister Maneka Gandhi for her remarks that Varun Gandhi should be brought back in Uttar Pradesh politics.
The Allahabad MP said, "It is a statement made in haste. She should not have said this. Like her others will also pitch in for their children."
When asked whether the Sultanpur MP has the capability to run the state, Gupta said, "There are many who are capable enough."
Maneka had backed her son after the BJP fared badly in the Uttar Pradesh bypolls. On the question of mother and son trying to project each other in the state, Gupta said, "They are not right in doing so."
As the state elections are in 2017, it is for BJP Parliamentary Board to decide the candidate.
On BJP's dismal performance in bypolls. Gupta said, "With the BSP not contesting polls, the scenario changed completely."
The BJP won only three seats out of the 11 that went to bypolls on September 13.
