Pilibhit (UP): As Varun Gandhi courted controversy by "praising" estranged cousin Rahul Gandhi, his mother and BJP leader Maneka Gandhi today said her son's remark on Amethi's development was "not correct" and advised him to use his mind instead of heart while making statements.

The BJP MP also said that development work has not taken place in Amethi in the last 45 years. Defending her son's statement, Maneka said he was innocent and his heart was clean.
