Digvijay takes a Dig at BJP Chief Over Remark Against Vivekananda


New Delhi, Nov 5 (PTI): Congress leader Digvijay Singh today took a dig at the BJP over its chief Nitin Gadkari's remark that the intelligence quotient level of Swami Vivekananda and Dawood Ibrahim could have been almost the same.

"In a function in Bhopal Gadkari said 'IQ of Swami Vivekananda and Dawood Ibrahim was same'. Any comment from (Narender) Modi and his fans?" Singh said on Twitter.

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

Singh, who has been targeting the BJP chief over his business links, asked "why do people question my credibility. Whatever I have said has come correct".

In his tweets, he had said "Gadkari involved in setting up bogus companies - Correct: Gadkari a businessman - Correct"

To buttress the point that he has always been proved correct on the issues he had raised, Singh posted a number of tweets today.

"Sangh involved in terror -Correct; Anna agitation supported by RSS -Correct; Team Anna politically ambitious - Correct Ramdev a thug - Correct; Balkrishna passport and degrees forged -Correct; Thackeray family from Bihar-Correct

"Kejriwal politically ambitious and wants to assume power without fighting elections - Correct; Kejriwal getting foreign funding to foment civil disobedience - Correct," he said in the tweets.

Singh added "would my detractors on social media please reconsider their opinion ?
Speaking to reporters in his home town Raghogarh in Madhya Pradesh, the Congress General Secretary said that by equating the IQs of Vivekananda with that of Dawood, the BJP chief had done nothing but talk in the language of the Sangh.

"The Sangh used to talk like this and Gadkari who comes from the RSS has simply followed it," he said.

    Diggy, First look at yourself what is your credibility & qualification to presume someones speech & start spitting venom to prove that you are a genius man (Gandhi family bootpolisher). Stop this stupid mentality & concentrate on developmental work in MP. While pointing fingers three will show you back about your creditbility. You have already proved that you are a waste body in this earth (Danda pinda)

    Right from the beginning this guy, Gadkari, always lands in trouble from that poor girl Yogitha Thakre’s murder in his car to his business links with NCP and now his comments equating the IQ of Swami Vivekananda to that of Dawood Ibrahim. This buffoon is the president of BJP, known as RSS’ political wing, which claims that they are patriots and nationalists and a party with a difference. RSS Supremo, Mohan Bhagavat himself made this Nagpuri the party president without analysing his IQ level. He is a heartless guy who did not even expresse his condolences to Yogitha’s family but tried to hush up the entire matter. A self-proclaimed “social entrepreneur” chose to set up over twenty fictious shell companies with the belief that he could get away with it using political clout and RSS backing. With today's comments by BJP leader Mahesh Jethmalani, Gadkari will be in real trouble.

    Please quote the full text of Gadkari's speach. He said "Scientifically speaking that Swamy Vivekananda and Dawood may have similar IQ. But Vivekananda used it for good purpose and became a great man.Dawood used it in a wrong way and became a villain"
    The comparisons are indeed foolish, particularly coming from a RSS man. This man's IQ must be definitely low. However, quoting only the first sentence to belittle gadkari is not fair.

    He has made mistake by taking the name of Swamy Vivekananda.
    Both Dawood Ibrhaim and Gadkari are from Chiplun, Rathnagiri dist of Maharastra may be their commnunal way and level of thinking and acting same.
    Secular Hindus started to protest at this issue all over India and abroad.

    Look who is talking? This guy Digvijay singh called Laden as Laden ji and kasab as kasab ji, do you think he doesn't respect Mr. Davood (ji)? just making benefit of the situation, crow mocking elephants as black species .. In reality this statement doesn't make any difference to his thoughts or morals. He who respects terrorists with bottom of heart has no place for Swamy in his heart. Its obvious he is taking a benefit rather than giving a responsible statement as a leader.
