BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya posted a collage of images of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru with different women, captioning the images: 'Seems Hardik has more of Nehru's DNA'.  

This comes after BJP's national spokesperson, Sambit Patra, told a news channel in a debate that Patedar leader Hardik Patel, a thorn on the BJP's Gujarat electoral hopes, is quite similar to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The implication was that both Nehru and Patel have had dalliances with women. 

The connection with Hardik Patel is that the BJP had outed a 'sex' video of Patel (which in fact has no sex).
 
Except of course, Malviya goofed up pretty badly. Two of the images in the collage are in fact with Nehru's sister Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit. One picture shows him kissing her on the cheek and another in a tight embrace. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit served as India's ambassador to Russia and to US and Mexico. Pandit also became the first woman to be elected president of the UN General Assembly.  


The other women in Malviya's crude and incorrect collage and assessment of one of India's finest prime ministers include Jacqueline Kennedy, Edwina Mountbatten and Mrinalini Sarabhai.
