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.

Ex-minister Ramanath Rai hits out at BJP leader Ashoka for ‘irresponsible’ comments on KC Venugopal
Mangaluru: Congress leader and former minister B Ramanath Rai slammed BJP leader R Ashoka for calling AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal an agent of the party high command, and asked if the general secretary and other office-bearers in the BJP were commission agents too.
Rai, who addressed a press meet at the Congress office in the city on Friday, expressed fury over the recent comments of the BJP leader that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was presenting himself in a shameless manner in public life. Ashoka, who is also Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, had said that the Congress government had ‘broken every previous record on corruption-related controversies’.
“Ashoka has spoken with sheer ignorance and displays his lack of maturity, as he often does while facing the media. KC Venugopal has been working at organization of the party and it is unbecoming of Ashoka to criticize Venugopal as he did,” Rai told reporters.
“Being in a responsible position, how acceptable is it for Ashoka to pass disrespectful, random comments about another leader who also holds a responsible position? If KC Venugopal is indeed an agent of the party high command, what should we consider BJP leaders to be? Are they brokers?” he asked
Commenting on Ashoka’s allegations of corruption in the Congress government in Karnataka, Rai pointed out, “The KSRTC land was sold to private parties when he (Ashoka) was transport minister. We can find several such cases across the state, which need to be probed.”
The former minister, however, refused to comment on the incident that occurred at Mangaluru airport during CM Siddaramaiah’s visit to the city recently.
Former mayors Ashraf and Shashidhar Hegde, Congress activists Vishwas Kumar Das, Subhodaya Alva, Shabeer, Baby Kundar, Padmanabha, Nazeer Bajal and Prem were present.
