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.

Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday took a swipe at Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy, by calling him a "Manuvadi" after his alliance with the BJP, for seeking the inclusion of Bhagavad Gita in curriculum for students.

The CM's dig came in response to Kumaraswamy's recent letter to Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan, requesting the inclusion of the Bhagavad Gita in the curriculum of students.

"After Kumaraswamy joined hands with the BJP for elections, he has become a Manuvadi," Siddaramaiah told reporters here after paying tributes to B R Ambedkar on his 69th death anniversary here.

Remembering Ambedkar, Siddaramaiah highlighted his contribution to the Constitution and his relentless fight to provide social justice.

The CM noted said fed up with social and caste system in Hinduism, and unable to reform it, Ambedkar accepted Buddhism.

He said, "Ambedkar, towards the end of his life, quit Hinduism and joined Buddhism. He was born in Hinduism, but cannot die in Hinduism, because he could not reform Hinduism, despite several efforts, so he accepted Buddhism."
