Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley might have won a temporary victory over Subramanian Swamy (SS). But it's seen as a matter of time when SS trains his guns at AJ again. Because what's at stake is the finance ministership of India, which the Sangh wants to be given to its true proselyte.
Instead of asking SS not to attend public meetings of BJP where he is invited, the party's central leadership has chosen to cancel the event itself to avoid getting into SS's firing orbit. On Sunday, an Emergency-related event in Mumbai where Subramanian Swamy was to be chief guest, was cancelled. The central leadership had also nixed a similar plan by its Tamil Nadu unit to host the party's Rajya Sabha member for a speech on the Emergency.
On Thursday, SS made it clear that it wasn't him that sought publicity, but it's the other way round - publicity seeks him out. He tweeted "New problem: when publicity relentlessly seeks a politician. 30 OVs outside the house, 200 missed calls from channels and paparazzi?" Does AJ get the message?
"Presstitutes are daily planting deliberately false stories hoping I will be provoked to reply. Ha! They have a hope!," he said in another tweet. "I have said before and saying now: Come hell or high water I stand by Modi. I admire his spine. No foreign power can buckle him," he added.
The Rajya Sabha member, who consistently attacked RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan and then took potshots at Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, has been lying low after the BJP leadership indicated its unhappiness and Modi voiced disapproval of his conduct.
