Without a doubt, Dr Subramanian Swamy’s rantings have put the Finance Minister in an awkward position. It seemed as if Swamy was getting his instructions from somewhere when he repeatedly levelled charges one after the other. It was therefore necessary for the Prime Minister to send out a direct message to Subramanian Swamy when asked about him during his interview. Narendra Modi in no uncertain terms said that he did not agree with Swamy’s recent statements and neither would he like Swamy to make such caustic remarks in the near future.
