New Delhi: worried by the storm raised on Varun Gandhi's supposed public remarks, The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has asked its LS polls candidates to think before they speak on any public platform.

Review Form Different politician
Election Commission: Has asked for a copy of the tape of his speech. The Commission is expected to review the speech at a meeting this morning in New Delhi.Former election commissioner T S Krishnamurthy: Speaking exclusively to NDTV, he said that after examining his speech under electoral offences, action could be taken against Varun Gandhi.
Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi: This could be the culture in the Congress, which functions on the basis of divide and rule. The Congress has always encouraged communalism in the name of secularism. The BJP doesn't approve of this. We don't agree with what Varun has said. It is not our ideology.

Nice speech...Keep it up
Have you actually seen the video? It's a grainy image, the voice doesn't sound like Varun Gandhi's and no one can say anything conclusively. There's also the mystery of why it took 11 days for the tape to surface. With digital technology today, it's so easy to doctor tapes.
To say Varun Gandhi said these things is to say the fellow is a fool - for only a fool would say such things and destroy his political career. To attribute these remarks to him is to insult the intelligence of the young fellow. In any event, as politicians go, there's no such thing as bad publicity! This move by the forces behind the doctoring of this tape will backfire. Varun Gandhi is winning more sympathy and is outdoing Rahul Gandhi for 'brand awareness.'
Many pseudo-secular and emotional Indians jump at the chance to pull down a clearly articulate young fellow.
In any case, he is innocent until proven guilty. Though, of course, the CEC has decided, in its wisdom, that he is guilty until proven innocent. What a circus!
