BJP upset over Subramanian Swamy’s tirades against Arun Jaitley
The BJP leadership is said to be upset over its MP Subramanian Swamy’s open attacks on finance minister Arun Jaitley and top bureaucrats and has taken a serious view of the matter.
The BJP leadership is said to be upset over its MP Subramanian Swamy’s open attacks on finance minister Arun Jaitley and top bureaucrats and has taken a serious view of the matter.
Party sources said there was concern in the organisation and the leadership over the unbridled criticism aimed at the finance ministry and Friday’s threat of a “bloodbath” over being asked to be disciplined.
Sources indicated the party was not in a hurry to act against Swamy, a Rajya Sabha member, and would adopt a wait-and-watch attitude for some time. A senior BJP leader sought to dispel the impression that Swamy, who is said to enjoy the support of RSS, has the backing of the Sangh Parivar fountainhead claiming RSS would not support such an attack that harms the government and party’s image.
“People giving me unasked for advice of discipline and restraint don’t realise that if I disregard discipline there would be a bloodbath,” he tweeted in an obvious attack on Jaitley. Though he did not name Jaitley, he was obviously referring to the minister who had a couple of days ago urged Swamy for restraint and discipline in the wake of his attacks on Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian on Wednesday.
In another apparent swipe at Jaitley, whose photographs of meeting with the Bank of China chairman Tian Guoli in Beijing in a lounge suit appeared in newspapers on Friday, Swamy asked BJP to advise ministers to wear traditional and modernised Indian cloths when abroad. “BJP should direct our ministers to wear traditional and modernised Indian clothes while abroad. In coat and tie they look like waiters.”
