Pilibhit: Lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP MP from Sultanpur Varun Gandhi has said the respect and honour that India received in his leadership was not witnessed in the tenure of any Prime Minister, including those from his family.

Varun, who is also the grandson of late prime minister Indira Gandhi, made the statement while addressing a rally in Pilibhit, where he is contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha polls on BJP ticket.

Further heaping praises on the Prime Minister, he said that PM Modi is living and would die for the country as he has no other agenda.

"Mere parivaar mein bhi kuchh log PM rahe hain lekin jo sammaan Modi ne desh ko dilaya hai, vo bahut lambe samay se kisi ne desh ko nahi dilaya...Vo aadmi keval jee raha hai desh ke liye aur vo marega desh ke liye. (Vajpayee ji was from a normal family but had never seen abject poverty. Modi ji is from an economically weaker family. Honestly speaking, some people of my family have also been Prime Minister but the honor that Prime Minister Modi has brought to the country hasn't been seen in long past),” Varun said.

Asserting that there are no corruption charges on the Prime Minister, the BJP leader said that PM Modi has no one for whom he would involve in corruption.

"In five years, Prime Minister Modi has not a single accusation of corruption. There are no corruption charges on him. For whom would he do corruption when he has no one else in his family?... He is only worried about the country," he said.

The BJP fielded Varun from Pilibhit constituency, a seat which was earlier represented by his mother Maneka. Pilibhit will go to polls in the third phase of Lok Sabha polls on April 23 and counting of votes will take place on May 23.
