Three years ago,the party defended him when in his anti-Muslim hate speech,he threatened to cut off the hand of anyone who raised a finger at Hindus. This time,the BJP is considering stern action against its Pilibhit MP,Varun Gandhi,for his recent comments on the partys prospects in the UP elections. We are convinced that his recent comments have damaged the party and these come under anti-disciplinary activities. State leaders have put lot of pressure on us. We are considering to initiate action against him just after the election process ends, said a top party leader. Last week,Gandhi has remarked that the BJP was spoilt for choice and had 55 chief ministerial candidates. He has stayed away from campaigning except in the Pilibhit-Aonla constituencies (Pilibhit is his constituency,Aonla is of his mother Maneka) and surrounding areas. When contacted,BJPs state chief Surya Pratap Sahi said: Any disciplinary action against any MP is taken by central leaders. We have nothing to do at the state level. Gandhi said: I have already clarified my statement and it is widely covered. I am in constant touch with my senior leaders and there is no indication of such action. Some leaders have even called me that they are convinced with my clarification. But sources said a show-cause notice may be issued against him on the recommendation of disciplinary committee headed by former Delhi BJP president OP Kohli.
