BJP president Nitin Gadkari has a habit of proving himself  politically incorrect over and over again. And as they say habit never goes, in a  bizarre statement he compared the IQ of Swami Vivekananda with the notorious underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

It seemed rather naive( read not innocent) than anything else, while talking about the gender discrimination and that people should be judged only on the basis of their qualities, the already troubled
not-a-good-orator Gadkari made this blunder.

Gadkari said, "As per psychology, if we compare the IQ level of Swami Vivekananda and that of Dawood Ibrahim, it could have almost been the same. But Vivekananda used it in nation building, brotherhood and spiritualism while Dawood used that in excelling in the crime world."

From the statement one can easily deduce that even though the intentions may have been nothing offensive but when you are the president of a political party who claims the monumental Swami Vivekananda to be it's own inspiration, you are not supposed to make such odd comments leading to a controversy. It will be interesting to see how the Sangh parivar reacts to this .

As if enough is not enough for Mr. Gadkari...
