Lucknow, Oct 21 (TNA) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmaker Varun Gandhi on Thursday questioned “the system” while being on a visit to the flood-ravaged Terai region. The Lok Sabha MP from Pilibhit wrote on his Twitter handle that while much of the Terai is badly flooded it was painful to see the “common man to fend for himself”.

He further wrote that it was sad that when the common man needs the system most, he is left to fend for himself in such tough situations when natural calamity like floods has hit them hard. “If every response is individual-led then what does ‘governance’ mean” he went on to question.

Earlier in the day, he donating dry rations by hand so that no family is hungry till this calamity ends. The BJP leader has been off late publicly saying things, which many political pundits suggest, were at cross purposes with the BJP leadership.

He has been vocal on the farmers unrest and went a step ahead in slamming leaders, in the aftermath of the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, for trying to make the issue into a Hindu-Sikh.

Sources close to the leader however said that his latest tweet was a commentary on the “sorry and inefficient system” and that “it should not be seen beyond it”.
