Familial tiesOn March 17, the former Bharatiya Janata Party member of Parliament, Varun Gandhi, set political circles abuzz after posting a family photograph with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on X. For many, the image signalled the re-emergence of “BJP’s Gandhi”, as Varun Gandhi had been known in the saffron party. In the photograph, Modi was seen with Varun Gandhi, his wife and his daughter. “I had the privilege of meeting the revered Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji along with my family and receiving his blessings and guidance,” he wrote in Hindi. The meeting came amid a buzz that Varun Gandhi might join the Congress, a move that would have marked a political convergence within the Gandhi family.
