New Delhi: Varun Gandhi, MP from Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh has removed the word ‘BJP’ from his Twitter bio.

Earlier, on the announcement of sugarcane rate of ₹ 350 / quintal by the Yogi government, the BJP MP, while expressing gratitude to the state government, said that please reconsider it and declare a rate of Rs 400 according to the rising cost and inflation.
BJP MP Varun Gandhi in the letter to CM Yogi said that the Lakhimpur violence has caused anguish and anger among the citizens of the whole country. If the farmers are suffering due to some issues and are protesting under their democratic rights, then we should deal with them with great restraint and patience.
What was in Varun Gandhi’s letter?
The BJP MP has further wrote in the letter that we should treat our farmers with sensitivity only and only in Gandhian and democratic way within the ambit of law. While paying homage to the farmer brothers who were martyred in this incident, I express my condolences to their families. I request you to immediately identify all the suspects involved in this incident and take the strictest action by setting up a murder case under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
In this regard, it would be more appropriate to get the culprits punished by getting the CBI investigated in a time bound manner under the supervision of the respected Supreme Court. Apart from this, compensation of one crore rupees should also be given to the families of the victims. Please also make sure that in future there is no such injustice or other atrocities with the farmers. I hope that in view of the seriousness of this incident, you will take the trouble of taking immediate action on my request.
What did the BJP MP say about sugarcane farmers?
Varun Gandhi had tweeted in this regard that thanks to Yogi ji for declaring sugarcane rate as ₹ 350 / quintal in the upcoming crushing season in Uttar Pradesh. I request that please reconsider this and declare the rate of ₹ 400 in line with the rising cost and inflation or please give a separate bonus of ₹ 50 / quintal on behalf of the government above the declared rate. In the tweet, Varun Gandhi has also given a letter to CM Yogi.
