His present station could be aptly described as that of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. <b>While on the television he is at his secular best demolishing the Hindutva forces and presenting an agnostic picture of himself. While campaigning in the Chandni Chowk constituency itâs a different story all together. He is a devout Hindu. </b>Not taking any chances, the erudite lawyer is playing to the gallery to woo the voters at time even stooping to seek votes on caste considerations. <b>On Tuesday last, he was at a meeting of the Brahman Samaj at National Club in Chandni Chowk to celebrate Parshuram Jayanti. Of late Parshuram Jayanti celebrations has come to symbolise Brahmin consolidation.
