of Lieutenant Colonel T. Singh Anand and Amteshwar Anand. Her
husband Sanjay Gandhi was the son of former Prime Minister Indira
Gandhi. Mentioning about his association with Punjab, Varun said:
"There is special place in my heart for Punjab and the people
of Punjab." Varun revealed that after winning the Lok Sabha elections,
he wanted to seek the blessings of the "Darbar Sahib" (Golden
Temple). Varun was accompanied by local BJP leaders including
Mohan Lal, Baldev Raj Chawla, chairman of the Punjab's Water Supply
