If BJP wants to sink like Titanic Ship then Modi is best to command: Subramanian Swamy
New Delhi: In a scathing critique, senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has warned that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership is headed for disaster, likening it to the sinking of the Titanic.
In a post on X on Monday, Swamy stated, "If we in BJP want to see our party sink like the Titanic Ship then Modi is the best to command." He further commented, "By-Election results show BJP is cracking up to sink forever."
Swamy's remarks come in the wake of recent by-election results where the INDIA bloc, comprising TMC, Congress, AAP, and DMK, made significant gains, securing 10 out of 13 seats. BJP managed only two wins, with an Independent candidate clinching the 13th seat. Notably, BJP also lost the Badrinath seat in Uttarakhand, which has been interpreted as a setback following the party's loss in Ayodhya during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Highlighting a larger political message, Congress attributed its victory in Badrinath to a backlash against Hindutva sentiments in significant Hindu religious places.
Swamy, known for his outspoken criticisms of BJP leadership including Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, has been vocal about his discontent with the party's direction. Previously, he questioned Modi's stance during the Emergency and criticized the government's policies, including Modi's recent visit to Russia and its implications on India-US relations.
When the Modi government declared June 25 as the 'murder of Constitution day', Swamy remarked on X "What was Mody [Modi] or Amit Shah’s contribution to actively opposing the Emergency?", adding, "Credit snitching is a bad disease."
Following the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, which saw Modi's return to power amidst reduced margins and coalition support, Swamy expressed concerns about Modi's popularity waning and emphasized the importance of not taking voters for granted in a democratic setup.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
