<b>Our opponents made Varun a poster boy: L K Advani</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"The case of Varun Gandhi got wide publicity as the Election Commission did something unprecedented. I was surprised. I support Varun because EC has done an illegal thing as the charge against him has not been proved," Advani said.
Without naming actor Sanjay Dutt, who is set to contest from Lucknow as Samajwadi Party candidate, he said "one who has been convicted is contesting from Lucknow but the Election Commission has not said anything."

"The only objective of my coming here is to strengthen my people, my society and the whole country.....I will not step back. If by my going to jail people get the strength to stand by their <b>principles</b>, I am ready to do so," he said amid slogans raised in his support.
Ahead of the BJP candidate's arrival, party workers and saffron activists clashed with the police
