During the ongoing agitation against the new agricultural laws of the Center, Varun Gandhi has been speaking in support of farmers continuously. His mother Maneka Gandhi has also been sympathetic towards the farmers.
Former Union minister Birender Singh, who was also seen as a sympathizer, has been removed as an executive member. So does Subramanian Swamy, who until recently was seen as a critic of the party.
On Tuesday, Varun Gandhi had tweeted a rather grainy video of him plowing through a group of peaceful protesters from the back of a black SUV. Four farmers were killed, four others lost their lives in the subsequent violence and arson.
