In grandma146;s shadow

Varun Gandhi may have been touted as the BJP8217;s own Gandhi, but the young leader is always conscious of his dadi8217;s legacy. A favourite of RSS chief K S Sudarshan and the Vajpayee-Advani duo, Varun always made it clear that he would not utter a word against his family, 8220;even if they happened to be his rivals8221;. At home with Max Weber and Branislaw Malinowski as he is with India8217;s own Ashis Nandy and Andre Beacute;teille the young leader majored in social anthropology, Varun is said to be working on his own youth agenda. He8217;s already addressed a few well-attended rallies around Pilibhit. The new Lok Sabha could then see an interesting mix of the BJP8217;s Varun and Maneka Gandhi and the Congress8217;s Rahul and Sonia Gandhi. While Rahul8217;s will sooner or later set the Congress8217;s youth agenda, it remains to be seen how the BJP uses Varun8217;s Vision Young India.
