Modi followers on Twitter are morons: Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy
New Delhi: In a recent Twitter exchange, veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Subramanian Swamy, responded to comments made by followers of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Swamy expressed his discontent with their repeated tweets suggesting that Modi would not facilitate his re-election to Parliament. Swamy countered their claims, asserting that he had already been elected to Parliament on six occasions, without any direct support from Modi.
Having served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for three terms in the Lok Sabha (Lower House) and three terms in the Rajya Sabha (Upper House), Swamy highlighted his extensive experience in national politics. Despite the claims made by Modi's followers, Swamy confidently stated that he has the option to contest and be elected for a seventh time, including the possibility of running from the Varanasi constituency, which is represented by PM Modi.
The Twitter controversy arose when a section of followers of Modi repeatedly tweeted that Swamy would not be nominated as an MP with Modi's support. Swamy referred to these individuals as "morons" in his response, expressing his frustration with their lack of knowledge about his past parliamentary tenures. He emphasized that his previous six terms in Parliament were achieved without any direct association with Modi, indicating his ability to independently seek re-election.
Subramanian Swamy, known for his strong stance on various issues and legal acumen, has been an influential BJP leader for many years. He has been expressing his dissent on social media lately against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his policies, and governance.
Modi & Tadakka’s followers on Twitter are morons because all the they tweet is Modi will not make me MP. Morons don’t know that I have already been in Parliament six times: 3 LS and 3 RS without Modi. I can choose to go 7 th time too such as from Varanasi.

London, Nov 22: A bomb disposal squad deployed as a “precaution” to the South Terminal of Gatwick Airport concluded an investigation into a "security incident" on Friday after making a “suspect package” safe.
The South Terminal of Gatwick Airport, the UK's second busiest airport after Heathrow, which was briefly shut owing to the incident reopened following the incident.
The Gatwick is around 45 km south of London.
Two people detained during the enquiries have since been allowed to continue their journey as the airport was opened.
“Police have concluded their investigation into a report of a suspect package at Gatwick Airport. Officers from the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team made the package safe, and the airport has been handed back to its operator,” Sussex Police said in an updated statement.
“Two people detained while enquiries were ongoing have subsequently been allowed to continue their journeys. There will remain an increased police presence in the area to assist with passengers accessing the South Terminal for onward travel,” the statement added.
Earlier on Friday, the incident caused severe disruption at the busy airport’s South Terminal, while the North Terminal of Gatwick Airport remained unaffected.
“Police were called to the South Terminal at Gatwick Airport at 8.20 am on Friday (November 22) following the discovery of a suspected prohibited item in luggage,” a Sussex Police statement said.
“To ensure the safety of the public, staff and other airport users, a security cordon has been put in place whilst the matter is dealt with. As a precaution, an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team is being deployed to the airport. This is causing significant disruption and some roads around the South Terminal have been closed. We’d advise the public to avoid the area where possible,” it said.
Footage on social media taken outside the airport showed crowds of frustrated travellers being moved away from the terminal building.
Gatwick said it was working hard to resolve the issue.
“A large part of the South Terminal has been evacuated as a precaution while we continue to investigate a security incident," the airport said in a social media post.
“Passengers will not be able to enter the South Terminal while this is ongoing. The safety and security of our passengers and staff remain our top priority. We are working hard to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.”
Train and bus services that serve the airport were also impacted while the police carried out their inquiries.
In an unrelated incident in south London on Friday morning, the US Embassy area in Nine Elms by the River Thames was the scene of a controlled explosion by Scotland Yard dealing with what they believe may have been a “hoax device”.
“We can confirm the 'loud bang' reported in the area a short time ago was a controlled explosion carried out by officers,” the Metropolitan Police said in a post on X.
“Initial indications are that the item was a hoax device. An investigation will now follow. Some cordons will remain in place for the time being but the majority of the police response will now be stood down,” it added.
