Varun Gandhi also fell ill with chikungunya after his UP tour. When he was recuperating at his residence in Jor Bagh, a prominent BJP member called him up and wanted to know why he was not going to Kozhikode for the party’s National Council Meeting. Varun clarified it was because he was suffering from Chikungunya. This politician with a Sangh background then expressed surprise and remarked, “But you are pure vegetarian. Chikungunya happens to those who consume chicken.” Varun tried explaining to him that that was not the case, but the leader just won’t agree to it. What mosquito of ignorance has bitten the Sangh?
