Twitter seems to be having a field day today when it comes to explosive and controversial comments being doled out like candy in a sweet shop. 

From actors and actresses to businessmen and now politicians, shots are being fired from every direction and this time, they seem to be coming from none other than senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy. 

Turns out, a Twitter user got under the BJP leader’s skin after he went on to slam Swamy for being 'bitter and envious' for not getting a ministry of his choice. 

The user by the name of @blittzzkrieg wrote, “Sir, I’m a huge fan of you. I would support you if you criticized Modi and the government when they do something wrong. But every tweet of yours is against him. It just sounds like you’re anti Modi because he didn’t give you the ministry that you wanted.” A view that many others on Twitter had gathered.

However, not keeping quiet this time, Subramanian Swamy said something that has shaken things up, especially since he ended up giving the real reason for not being in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi when it came to certain things.

I am anti Modi policies for the economy & foreign policy and I am ready to debate with any responsible on it. Have you heard about participatory democracy? Modi is not King of India

The Rajya Sabha MP wrote back, “I am anti Modi policies for the economy & foreign policy and I am ready to debate with any responsible on it. Have you heard about participatory democracy? Modi is not King of India."  

Will the bureaucrat duo Jaishankar and Doval ever apologise to the nation for the mess they have landed India in the international scene? They were given a free hand because Modi trusts politicians not peer level politicians. Now we in a mess with all our neighbours.

The Tweet to which Swamy replied had come after Swamy had posted on Twitter, “Will the bureaucrat duo Jaishankar and Doval ever apologise to the nation for the mess they have landed India in the international scene? They were given a free hand because Modi trusts politicians not peer level politicians. Now we in a mess with all our neighbours.” 

Since then, a lot of drama has been stirring on the micro-blogging site where people are busy picking sides in this sudden Modi  vs. Swamy dynamic.  

One user wrote, “Now you've started to understand Swami. Its a case of sour grapes & swollen ego,” while another one wrote, “He being not appointed as our Finance minister is a huge loss to the nation, not to him anyway.

Please stop quoting this petty reason whenever he speaks negative about his policies or decisions.” 

I agree he is not “King of India” because King(s) left in 1947 but he is democratically elected “Head of India” Sir I am also big fan of you. Please support Modi, who is doing good for India. Request..

So correct, I have got this feeling since last year aug /September onwards.
He has become anti modi for sure. Look at all his latest tweet, sarcastic one where he wrote why was Amit Shah absent in Rajya Sabha, I was wondering when did AS join Rajyasabha??

That's nothing to do with what he wanted..

He is working as a well wisher real support of Modi

Always showing Modi government the pit falls

Rest all are just buttering and flattering for the ministry

No. Right Criticism by Sri Subramanian Swamy. You must learn to accept by subject and judiciously. Personalities does not matter. Diplomatic relations very important to if 130 Cr people have to be protected. Mr Subramanian Swamy is right with his opinion

Criticizing one single person (Modi), who is solely responsible for the mess & chaos in the country is called nationalism. Every citizen have full right to criticize the government and the person who governs in many bad ways. Mr. Swamy is doing what reasonable citizen need to do
