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.
