Either Swamy considers himself oversmart or counts his new age followers/Sangh fanboys as ignorants if not morons. I can't understand how can any person change his belief system in TOTO and turnaround 180 degrees at Swamy's age. I hope it is not some issue related to degeneration of mind given Swamy's habit of making wildest claims
