Subramanian Swamy issues threat of bloodbath

Swamy has been active on Twitter over the last two-three days, attacking officials of Finance Ministry and taking swipe at Jaitley

Bharatiya Janata Party MP, Subramanian Swamy on Friday took his attack against those in the finance ministry to a new level. He issued a veiled threat to those asking him to follow restraint saying if he “disregarded discipline, there will be a bloodbath.”

“People giving me advice of discipline and restraint don't realise that if I disregard discipline there would be a bloodbath,” he tweeted in an attack on Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

Though he did not name Jaitley, he was referring to the minister urging him for restraint and discipline in the wake of his attacks on Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian on Wednesday and his use of the word discipline in defending Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das on Thursday.

In another apparent swipe at Jaitley, whose photographs of meeting with the Bank of China Chairman Tian Guoli in Beijing in a longue suit appeared appeared in newspapers on Friday, Swamy tweeted, “BJP should direct our Ministers to wear traditional and modernised Indian clothes while abroad. In coat and tie they look like waiters.”
