BJP MP Subramanian Swamy on Saturday denied reports that the party was unhappy with his rants against union finance minister and other senior technocrats and bureaucrats but said, “Arun Jaitley looks very smart in a coat”.
In one of his tweets on Friday, Swamy had said, “BJP should direct our Ministers to wear traditional and modernised Indian clothes while abroad. In coat and tie, they look like waiters” – which was seen as another attack on Jaitley, who is on official tour of China.
“All such reports are false. I am addressing party meetings… These are rumours. If I want to target someone,I do it openly. In fact, Mr Jaitley looks very smart in a coat,” he said when sought his reaction on reports that the BJP wants an end to his hit campaigns.
He had targeted RBI governor Raghuram Rajan, chief economic adviser Arvind Subramanian and economic affairs secretary Shaktikanta Das despite the fact that the BJP and Jaitley had distanced from his views.
Swamy on Saturday, however, trained his gun on Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
‘Swamy an attention seeker’
Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday launched a fierce attack on BJP leader Subramaniam Swamy, calling him attention seeker and his comments, deplorable, DHNS reports from New Delhi.
Vadra, who is often at the receiving end of Swamy, hit back at the BJP leader’s remarks likening Union ministers to waiters at a restaurant.
