Vote for me, you will need me once elections are over: Maneka to Muslims

Sultanpur (UP): In a controversial remark, Union minister Maneka Gandhi told Muslims to vote for her as they will need her once the Lok Sabha elections are over.
“We are not Mahatma Gandhi’s children that we keep giving and not get anything in return,” she said in Muslim-dominated Turabkhani area on Thursday. Gandhi, the BJP candidate from Sultanpur Lok Sabha constituency, claimed she is all set to win and told the Muslim audience that “you might need me tomorrow.”
The Congress reacted strongly with spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala saying she is trying to divide people on the basis of caste and community. “I am winning. I am winning because of the help and love of the people,” Maneka Gandhi said at the meeting in Sultanpur, a constituency earlier held by her son Varun Gandhi. (PTI)
