BJP General Secretary Varun Gandhi today filed his nomination papers for Sultanpur Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh, after holding a road show in the town.

34-year-old Varun led a procession of supporters towards the district collectorate to file his nomination. The road show was, however, cut short as the local administration said permission was taken only for filing nomination and not for the roadshow.

Varun, who represented Pilibhit Parliamentary constituency in the outgoing Lok Sabha, has shifted to Sultanpur where he is locked in a quadrangular contest with Sultanpur MP Sanjay Singh's wife Amita Singh of Congress, Shakeel Ahmed of SP and Pawan Pandey of BSP.
