<b>Varun Gandhi may turn into aandhi</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->He now faces the prospect of up to a year in jail without bail though he can be set free much earlier depending on how soon the state government forwards the case to the advisory board and the decision is taken by the board.
If things move in his favour, he could come out of jail after 42 days of NSA being slapped against him, which would mean he would be out just three days before his constituency goes to polls on May 13.
With Mr Gandhiâs stay behind bars prolonged, the state polity looks headed towards communal polarisation. Mayawati, who was seen as dithering in taking action against him, initially, may like to see him behind bars for a prolonged period in the hope of gaining the support of Muslim voters. She has been assiduously wooing the community in the last few months.
