Subramanian Swamy back in Twitter mode

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Subramanian Swamy was on Wednesday back at what he does best — Tweeting. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rebuke, Mr Swamy went philosophical on Tuesday quoting the Bhagvad Gita.

On Wednesday, he was at his elements yet again. If the Prime Minister, in an indirect reference, indicated that he was against politicians who make remarks for “publicity stunts”, the BJP MP in one his tweets claimed that he does not seek publicity rather publicity seeks him. He tweeted; “New problem: when publicity relentlessly seeks a politician. 30 OBs outside the house, 200 missed calls from channels and paparazzis ”

Then he lashed out at the media “Presstitutes are daily planting deliberately false stories hoping I will be provoked to reply. Ha! They have a hope!,” he said in another tweet.

Mr Swamy, who was apparently gunning for finance minister Arun Jaitley, was quick to toe the Modi line and tweeted claiming that he “admired his (Narendra Modi’s) spine.” He tweeted; “I have said before and saying now: Come hell or high water I stand by Modi. I admire his spine. No foreign power can buckle him,” he added.
