The question being asked in political circles is whether Finance Minister Jaitley, on his return from China, lock his horns with irrepressible Subramanian Swamy. One of his confidants has reportedly said: "Swamy's threats through tweets cannot be dismissed as an independent voice since he happens to be a party member." As SS accelerates his twitter and facebook campaign against AJ and his officials, a large section of the BJP has not condemned Swamy or launched a strong defense of Jaitley. The party camp sympathetic to Jaitley considers Swamy's politics "toxic" and points out "as happened in December 2015, when (Delhi Chief Minister Arvind) Kejriwal targeted Jaitley over corruption in the DDCA, he is again left alone to fight his own battle" . They point out that neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor BJP president Amit Shah have condemned Swamy's barbs directed at Jaitley. Asked for his comments on AJ's defense, SS said "Jaitleyji kya bole, kya nahi bole issse Mujhe kya lena dena (What do I have to do with what Jaitley said or did not say). I speak to Prime Minister and the (BJP) party president when required."
