Uttar Pradesh deputy CM Dinesh Sharma embarasses BJP top brass by claiming that Mahabharat was telecasted live and that god Rama’s wife Sita was a test tube baby. He said "People say Sita ji was born from an earthen pot, which means at the time of Ramayana, a concept similar to test tube baby must have existed." He has further added that "Today, live telecast is being done, but I think a similar technology was present at the time of Mahabharata, when Sanjaya presented a 'live telecast' of the battle of Mahabharata to Dhritarashtra."
