Subramanian Swamy and Robert Vadra’s catfight on social media

You know one of them as Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law and the other as her ‘jaanidushman’. Don’t take stress; we are talking about Robert Vadra and BJP leader Subramanian Swamy who were embroiled in a ‘cat-fight’ of sorts on Social media yesterday.

Taking a dig at Swamy’s tweet about BJP ministers dressing up as waiters, Vadra termed his remarks as derogatory and classist.

The BJP leader, in return, said that he should concentrate on “staying out of jail” instead of making political comments.

Dr. Swamy had tweeted, “BJP should direct our Ministers to wear traditional and modernized Indian clothes while abroad. In coat and tie they look like waiters.”

Replying to the remarks, Mr. Vadra, in a Facebook post, said, “Undermining waiters who work hard for a living; making condescending and derogatory remarks about them is deplorable and classist“.

Dr. Swamy soon hit back.

“Mr. Vadra should concentrate on staying out of jail instead of making political comments,” he told reporters.
