Being an influencer comes with a certain sense of responsibility and whatever you claim or say, can have repercussions which can sometimes be out of your control. 

Former RSS activist and the head of Shiv Pratishthan Hindustan, Sambhaji Bhide's recent claims have come under fire for being pretty bizarre in nature. 

In one of his recorded speeches where he is addressing the public, he claimed that childless couples who ate mangoes from his courtyard, later managed to conceive and women who ate those mangoes, apparently gave birth to sons eventually!

Haapus for a good boy. Lagda for a birth defect child. Alphonso for Christian child. Kesar for girl child. Totapuri for a parrot instead of a child.

So all IVF clinics and doctors can take a break now since it's the season for mangoes?

Also, is this the real meaning of aam aadmi now?

Childless couples who eat mangoes from my farm will be blessed with male babies: Sambhaji Bhide.
They will be called Aam Aadmi!

While the learned and famous politician enjoys a huge fan following in Maharashtra, this statement is not beings digested well. Perhaps a glass of 'aam panna' will help?
