With the general elections just around the corner, the political discourse in the country is already hitting new lows every passing day, with name calling and blatant sexist remarks on female politicians.

Hegde, the BJP MP from Uttara Kannada has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The latest controversial comment from him was on Wednesday when he suggested that Congress President Rahul Gandhi was of hybrid specimen.
