Subramanian Swamy says Rahul Gandhi an 'Italian citizen' | |
| |
Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy on Monday said Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi is not an Indian but an Italian citizen. "Rahul Gandhi can never become the prime minister...He is an Italian citizen. I will bring out this in details very soon," said Swamy, who recently merged his party with the BJP.  Asked on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Goa CM Manohar Parrikar's absence from the National Integration Council (NIC) meeting on Monday, he said the council was "a toothless body". "It's nothing big that the PM should preside over it. Modi and Parrikar were busy and could not find time. Bhopal is closer to Delhi and (Madhya Pradesh CM) Shivraj (Singh Chouhan) may have adjusted his time," he said. He also defended the BJP's decision to charge people for attending Modi's rallies. "What is wrong in that? Even Mahatma Gandhi charged. If Congress people charge and put the money in their pockets you don't say anything. And it's not compulsory for everyone to buy. We are not asking for money with a stick in our hand. Only those who attend will have to pay and those who don't want to attend need not pay," he said. "In Hyderabad, we charged Rs 5. Now the inflation has gone up. We will charge Rs 10," he said. He also said there was "nothing wrong" in BJP leader L K Advani meeting Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. |
