He denounced Rahul Gandhi's infamous outburst against the controversial ordinance against convicted lawmakers, and said that it was an insult to the Prime Minister, who was abroad at the time, and therefore also disgraceful to the nation. [22] He also said that if the Prime Minister had any dignity left, he should resign immediately upon his return to the country, on the day of Rahul Gandhi's outburst. [23]
In February 2014, Gandhi kickstarted his campaign for election 2014 in Sultanpur. He gave an emotional speech to an enthusiastic crowd in Kadipur, and said that he had come to Sultanpur to fulfill his father's dreams. [24]

राहुल गांधी के भाई, जिन्होंने पहले ही चुनाव में जब्त करा दी थी सब की जमानत!
वरुण गांधी भारतीय जनता पार्टी के चर्चित चेहरों में से एक हैं। वे
अपने ओजस्वी भाषणों के कारण खूब चर्चा में रहे हैं। वर्तमान में वरुण गांधी
पीलीभीत (उत्तर प्रदेश) लोकसभा सीट से सांसद और भाजपा के नेशनल सेक्रेटरी
हैं। बता दें कि वे भाजपा के अब तक के इतिहास में सबसे युवा जनरल सेक्रेटरी
हैं। भाजपा ने वरुण गांधी को लोकसभा चुनाव के लिए राजनाथ सिंह के नेतृत्व
में गठित टीम में महत्वपूर्ण जिम्मेदारी सौंपी है।
राहुल के चचेरे भाई हैं वरुण :
वरुण उसी नेहरू-गांधी परिवार से संबंध रखते हैं, जिससे कि राहुल गांधी।
वे देश की पहली महिला प्रधानमंत्री स्व. इंदिरा गांधी के पोते और पहले
प्रधानमंत्री स्व. पंडित जवाहर लाल नेहरू के परपोते हैं। इंदिरा गांधी के
दो बेटे थे राजीव गांधी और संजय गांधी। वरुण, उनके छोटे बेटे संजय गांधी के
पुत्र हैं।
1980 में हुआ था वरुण का जन्म :
वरुण गांधी का जन्म 13 मार्च 1980 को नई दिल्ली में हुआ था। उनकी मां
का नाम मेनका गांधी है, जो वर्तमान में भारतीय जनता पार्टी की राष्ट्रीय
नेता और आंवला (उत्तर प्रदेश) से सांसद हैं। गौरतलब है कि वे 6 में से 5
बार पीलीभीत सीट से विजयी रही हैं। 2009 में उन्होंने अपने बेटे वरुण के
लिए यह सीट छोड़कर आंवला से लोकसभा चुनाव लड़ा और जीत हासिल की थी।
3 माह के उम्र में पिता का निधन :
23 जून 1980 को वरुण के पिता संजय गांधी का प्लेन दुर्घटना में
आकस्मिक निधन हो गया था। उनकी गिनती भारतीय राजनीति के उभरते सितारों में
होती थी। गौरतलब है कि इस समय उनकी उम्र मात्र 3 माह थी और जब वे 4 साल के
हुए तब उनकी दादी इंदिरा गांधी की हत्या कर दी गई थी।
अन्ना के आंदोलन में पहुंचने वाले पहले राजनेता :
साल 2011 में जिस समय अन्ना हजारे भ्रष्टाचार मुक्त समाज की कल्पना
लिए जन लोकपाल बिल के लिए आंदोलन कर रहे थे, उस समय वरुण ने उन्हें अपने
सरकारी आवास पर अनशन करने का ऑफर दिया था, लेकिन उन्होंने इनकार कर दिया।
जब अन्ना जेल चले गए तो वरुण ने संसद में जन लोकपाल बिल की पेशकश की। इतना
ही नहीं, वे अन्ना के आंदोलन को सपोर्ट करने के लिए एक आम आदमी के रूप में
रामलीला मैदान भी पहुंचे थे। बता दें कि वे पहले पॉलिटीशियन हैं,
जिन्होंने भ्रष्टाचार विरोधी अभियान को खिलकर सपोर्ट किया।
1999 में आए राजनीति में :
मेनका गांधी साल 1999 में लोकसभा चुनावों के दौरान वरुण को लाइम लाइट
में लेकर आई थीं। इस समय वे पीलीभीत से चुनाव लड़ रही थीं और वरुण उनके साथ
चुनाव प्रचार का हिस्सा बने थे। साल 2004 में वरुण और मेनका गांधी ने भाजपा
की सदस्यता ले ली। इस समय वरुण ने लगभग 40 लोकसभा सीटों में पार्टी का
प्रचार-प्रसार किया था।
2009 में लड़े पहली बार चुनाव :
वरुण गांधी भले ही साल 1999 में राजनीति से जुड़ गए थे, लेकिन चुनाव
लड़ने के लिए उन्हें 10 साल का इंतज़ार करना पड़ा।2009 में भाजपा ने वरुण को
वहीं से टिकट देने का फैसला किया, जहां से की उनकी मां मेनका गांधी लड़ा
करती थीं। पीलीभीत से वे लोकसभा चुनाव लड़े और अपने प्रतिद्वंदी वी. एम सिंह
को के भारी अंतर से हराया।
गांधी परिवार के 4 सदस्यों में सबसे आगे :
2009 में जब वरुण पीलीभीत से विजेता घोषित हुए तो उन्हें कुल 419,539
वोट मिले थे। उन्होंने अपने प्रतिद्वंदी वी. एम सिंह को 281,501 वोटों से
हराया था। वरुण की यह जीत गांधी परिवार के चारों सदस्यों मां मेनका, ताई
सोनिया, चचेरे भाई राहुल गांधी और स्वयं में सबसे मजबूत जीत जीत थी। इस हिसाब से वरुण गांधी परिवार के सभी सदस्यों में सबसे आगे हैं।
सभी सदस्यों की जमानत जब्त :
वरुण गांधी ने इस चुनाव में भारी मतों से जीत तो हासिल की ही थी,
लेकिन रोचक बात यह है कि बाक़ी सभी सदस्यों की जमानत तक जब्त हो गई थी। इन
सदस्यों में कांग्रेस के वी.एम सिंह और बहुजन समाज पार्टी के गंगाचरण चौधरी
भी शामिल हैं।
भाषणों के कारण दर्ज हो चुके हैं केस :
वरुण गांधी पर पीलीभीत में एक भाषण के दौरान मुसलमानों के खिलाफ अभद्र
टिप्पणी करने के बाद केस दर्ज कराया गया था। बाद में अदालत ने उन्हें इस
मामले में बरी कर दिया था। मार्च 2013 में एक बार फिर वे अभद्र भाषा के
कारण कोर्ट तक पहुंच गए थे, लेकिन उन्हें इस बार भी राहत मिल गई थी।
2011 में की शादी :
साल 2011 में वरुण गांधी ने यामिनी रॉय चौधरी से शादी की। यामिनी
डिप्लोमेट सुनील रॉय चौधरी की बेटी हैं। वैसे तो इस शादी को काफी हाई
प्रोफाइल बनाने की योजना थी, लेकिन बाद में यह काफी सादगी से हुई। इस शादी
में कुछ पारिवारिक सदस्य, दोनों ही पक्षों के कुछ गिने-चुने रिश्तेदार और
कुछ करीबी दोस्त ही शामिल हुए थे। सूत्रों की मानें तो इस शादी में करीब 25
मेहमान मौजूद थे। गौरतलब है कि इस शादी में वरुण की ताई सोनिया गांधी, भाई
राहुल और बहन प्रियंका शामिल नहीं हुए थे। वरुण और यामिनी ने कांची मठ के
काशी काम कोटेश्वर मंदिर में सात फेरे लिए थे।
