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.

CBI faces flak over unprofessional wanted ad: ‘Ball’ instead of ‘bail’, unclear photos raise eyebrow
New Delhi: India’s premier investigative agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), is under criticism after the release of a public advertisement seeking information about three wanted accused in a counterfeiting case. Far from serving its purpose, the ad has sparked ridicule and concern over the agency’s professionalism.
The CBI ad, intended to appeal to the public for information about three Nigerian nationals, Dosunmu Oluwatosin Abimbola, Sanni Aminat Olajumoke, and Adenowo Adekunle Azeez, has been criticised for glaring errors and poor execution.
Journalist Sanket Upadhyay, speaking on his YouTube channel Red Mike, slammed the ad, questioning who drafts such notices. Pointing to the hazy images of the accused, he remarked that “to get the reward, people should at least be able to see the image,” and sarcastically described the visuals as resembling a “seventh-time photocopy.”
The most glaring mistake? The word “bail” is repeatedly misspelled as “ball.” The ad reads: “On being granted ball, they have jumped the ball, absconded…”, a language slip that has not gone unnoticed, with social media users mocking the agency for its linguistic negligence.
In addition to the spelling error, the photographs of the accused included in the ad have been called out for being “beyond recognition.” Blurry, pixelated and unclear, the images fail to serve the very function of helping identify the accused, prompting users to ask, “Is this a CBI Ad or a joke?”
The ad mentions that each accused carries a reward of ₹50,000 for information leading to their arrest. The three individuals are accused in a 2009 case registered by the CBI’s Economic Offences Unit (RC SIB 2009 E0003, EOU-V, New Delhi) under sections 120-B, 489-A, and 489-B of the Indian Penal Code. According to the CBI, they were granted bail but subsequently absconded and have been declared proclaimed offenders by a Delhi court.
While the agency is urging the public to share any leads, critics say the CBI must first ensure its outreach materials are accurate, clear, and professional.
The CBI has not yet issued any clarification or correction regarding the ad.
