Denied ticket from Gurdaspur, but BJP has my support: Kavita Khanna

The signs of rebellion from Kavita Khanna, the wife of late BJP Lok Sabha member Vinod Khanna, at being ignored for a party ticket to contest the Lok Sabha polls fizzled out on Saturday. Claiming that she was under “tremendous pressure” to contest the elections as an independent, she had decided to continue her quest to serve the nation by pledging complete support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

New Delhi: After the BJP pitched Sunny Deol from Gurdaspur parliamentary seat, wife of late Union Minister and four times MP Vinod Khanna rejected reports of contesting independently from the seat.

Speaking exclusively to ETV Bharat over party's decision, Kavita Vinod Khanna said, "I felt shattered, abandoned and insignificant. It felt like all my hard work of 21 years was ignored."

Talking about her personal journey in Gurdaspur, Kavita Khanna claimed that she has made many sacrifices for the constituency. "Many times, I had to leave my kids with my mother so that I can fulfil my party duties." She stated.

Hailing Prime Minister Modi, Kavita Khanna claimed that he is by far the best PM this country has ever seen. She even went on to claim that PM Modi deserves a second chance.

When asked whether she will campaign for Sunny Deol, Kavita Vinod Khanna said that if the party asks her then she has no objection in doing that. She also stressed that only a BJP candidate will win Gurdaspur parliamentary seat.
