Who Does Subramanian Swamy Represent? A 2011 Article Might Provide the Clue
NEW DELHI: It remains to be seen whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi reins in his newly appointed Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy, and thereby makes it clear to the party and the government that he is standing by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. Swamy’s tweets, and irresponsible statements have created a stir within the party and the government with his attack on Jaitley finding few supporters.
A Mumbai BJP meet where Swamy was to speak on the Emergency was just cancelled, leading to speculation that perhaps the party top brass has taken a stand. However, publicly there has been no response from the BJP to contain him, with spokespersons as silent as PM Modi on a MP who is directly attacking his party’s Finance Minister and the officials appointed by him.
