Subramanian Swamy
Bose did not die in 1945. It is wrong. It is a conspiracy of Nehru and the Japanese. Subhash Chandra Bose sought shelter in Russia and was granted asylum. Jawaharlal Nehru knew everything.
The black money issue should not be misunderstood as one of merely avoiding taxes. It is, in fact, a major systemic crime of denying the nation's financial system the proceeds of wealth. Such denial should actually be declared as treason, where opportunities to share the wealth for the benefit of the poor are wilfully denied.
Rahul Gandhi cannot be a prime minister because he is a citizen of Britain, and his Indian citizenship will be cancelled; he won't even be an MP.
Jayalalitha has turned out to be a failure as chief minister.
I cannot become a Chowkidar because I am Brahmin. Brahmins can't be Chowkidars. It's a fact.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation should strongly recommend to the cabinet that Jet Airways should be merged with Air India, not only to ensure air services are not restricted but also to enable Air India to recover its former premier position.
There is a serious effort going on by private airlines such as Spicejet and Vistara to benefit from this dismemberment of Jet Airways.
I had opposed the Jet-Etihad FDI arrangement on the ground of the disproportionate share of airspace given to Etihad, which is against the interest of domestic passenger traffic and also against national interest.
Shaktikanta Das being appointed as RBI Governor is wrong. He has worked closely in corrupt activities with P. Chidambaram and even tried to save him in court cases.
The interest rate because of Mr. Raghuram Rajan has been too high, and so medium and small industries have all collapsed. This has led to increased unemployment.
Homosexuality is a genetic flaw.
I know many judges who are homosexual.
I'm not BJP's servant.
My critics began saying I was a chauvinist, nationalist, mad nationalist.
BJP should direct our Ministers to wear traditional and modernised Indian clothes while abroad. In coat and tie, they look like waiters.
You can auction coal blocks. All natural resources of government should be auctioned.
I have every right to tweet.
The country is moving to a more open society.
Rahul Gandhi gets a copy of every programme that has been started by the Centre during Parliamentary procedure, but he has got no time to read. He has got time to go to night clubs.
Gujarat is a state which gave shelter to Parsi community who came from Iran; this is not the tradition and heritage of Gujarat.
Twenty years ago, when I spoke about women getting harassed by politicians, people said I was getting personal. Today, the climate has changed. It has become an epidemic. It's happening in every place.
The RBI governor post is very high in the Warrant of Precedence and requires a patriotic and unconditional commitment to our nation.
As governor of RBI, Dr. Rajan has sent confidential and sensitive financial information to various persons around the world on his University of Chicago unsecure personal email address. This is a reckless disregard of the national security of India.
I don't trust most journalists who belong to Anglo Saxon stock because we know what your inclinations are.
Ahmed Patel and Sonia Gandhi are not too different political personalities.
As far as the opposition to Jayalalitha was concerned, it was that she was misusing authority for personal corruption, denying people their liberties, attacking the opposition with violence, and there was nobody who could challenge her.
I have done my duty and lived up to my promise of having exposed Jayalalitha.
If someone gives you support, and there are no conditions attached, why shouldn't I accept it?
I have never been scared.
The younger generation has become very nationalistic, self-confident. Increasingly, they do not see the Congress as their party.
Hindutva is an idea where you learn things that schools and colleges do not teach you - to say we are all one because DNA says there is no such thing as Aryan or Dravidian.
National identity does not figure in the Tamil way of thinking.
The BJP's central leadership needs to recast the party structure where you openly speak of Hindutva and Indianness.
In politics, you have to balance these things: what is good for the country, what is available, and what is possible.
Ordinary people want good government.
See, Indira Gandhi was wrong in declaring the Emergency. She tried to put me in jail, but she could not. People voted her back, and I worked with her after that. Even though I was not a member of the Congress, she sought my help on China. You can't have personal vendetta, you see.
If something happens to me, the people of Tamil Nadu should rise in my defence.
I never take up a case until I am convinced that the person is guilty.
Anyone who does not say, 'I am Indian first and then a Tamilian,' is anti-national.
There is no concept of a Tamil nation. India is one nation, and Tamil Nadu is a part of that.
Not all politicians have a nexus with Veerappan.
Jayalalitha is a performing monkey in the hands of Sasikala.
The BJP is only a front organisation. It is not a political party.
Jayalalitha cannot be misled about anything. She is one of the most well informed persons today in Indian politics.
Essentially, the BJP is nothing more than a north Indian party. Its mentality is also north Indian. They are quite capable of backtracking on the issues relating to Tamil Nadu if it suits them. But I will not allow that.
This much I would say: Socialism has failed all over the world. In the eighties, I would hear every day that there is no inflation in the Soviet Union, there is no poverty in the Soviet Union, there is no unemployment in the Soviet Union. And now we find that, due to Socialism, there is no Soviet Union!
Madurai is a city with a long political history. It was at the centre of the anti-Brahmin movement, the anti-Hindi movement, the Dravidian movement, and was a pro-LTTE city. Yet, this city has elected me, the very antithesis of all these movements.
My job was to bring down the government, and I did that.
India was not a pacifist country at all. India placed great emphasis on the higher value on... on violence. But it was never a substitute for not doing anything, or for cowardice.Collection: Country
