On a bright afternoon, Sri Varun Gandhi landed at Gwalior Airport for the launch of his new book, ‘A Rural Manifesto’ at ITM University. Accompanied by Founder Sri Ramashankar Singh, Vice Chancellor Dr KK Dwivedi, Managing Director Dr Daulat Singh Chauhan and Pro-Chancellor Dr Ruchi Singh Chauhan, Sri Varun Gandhi provided ideas and solutions for the development of Nation. Starting his case from scratch, he talked about ‘Revolution’ as a means to develop our nation. Our history is filled with a varied array of revolutions. Be it a Green revolution or the Industrial Revolution, they have always been tools for human progress in the whole world. “But in the present scenario a Citizen Revolution is of utter importance,” he said.

He also raised many serious questions about the issues of Indian democracy, politics, commercialization and corruption. He said that there is a lot of talk about youth in politics today but the truth is that the country is becoming young and the politics is getting old.
