He doesn't have the tact (read brain) to promote his twisted agenda, see his comments, he is too frank and doesn't even try a bit to hide is eccentricity,...
Modi is smart thats why he doesnt give any position to Dr.Swamy, he is too tactless...
Dr.Swamy doesnt have the brains of Amit Shah, he is just more popular version of Togadia...
Dr.Swamy cannot contribute anything good for this country..
And regarding SL Tamils I think you are too uninformed.. do read about TNA govt and their demads for equal rights that has been turned down by Rajapakse..
Nothing good can happen from him..
If you are so bothered about friendly neighbours, surely Independednt tamil ealam makes better neighbour than Singhalese SL
Dr. Swamy is quite successful in promoting his agenda considering the fact the Modi, a Hindutva icon, is the PM of India
Dr. Sawmy does not have any cabinet position because in the Modi cabinet because Modi has clearly declared that no one above the age of 75 will be given a seat. Dr. Swamyy will turn 75 on Sept 15. (20 days from now) It did not make sense to make him a minster for 3 months. That is the same reason Dr. Murli manohar joshi has no cabinet seat either.
Dr. Swamy is a trained economist who has published papers with Economic Nobel prize winners, something which even Man Mohan singh has not done till date. He is also a Supreme Court lawyer of repute. Amit Shah is neither.
Dr. Swamy and Amit shah are both in different line of work, and there is no comparing them. its Apples to oranges.
Here is the list of Dr. Swamy's prominent contribution to India,
1. Fight against Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi. He was one of the hero's of the emergency.
2. Successfully negotiated with China and opened up Mansarover pilgrimage site in Tibet for Hindu pilgrims. It was the fist step in normalizing relationship with China.
3. Creating the Blue print for economic reforms in India in 1990-91 which was implemented by MMS in 1991.
4. Instrumental in setting up diplomatic relaionship with Israel. He was the FIRST Indian politician to make a publicised visit to Israel.
5. He's the one who single handedly fought against corruption by Jayalalathi and gave up only when he was convinced she has changed.
6. Expose 2G scam and help prosecute the accused.
7. Fought and won in the SC the provision which barred CBI from investigating corruption charges against officers of the rank of joint secretary and above without prior permission of the Govt of India.
8. Instrumental in protecting and preserving Ram Sethu when DMK was trying to demolish it.
9. Instrumental in fighting for Temple rights and won the landmark case against TN govt. which gave back trustee ship of Chidambaram Temple back to its traditional trustees.
He is one of the greatest sons of TN. Even if TN does not recognize him, the rest of India will.
Dr. Swamy has done more for India than a 100 of you put together can do. That is just as true.
