Subramanyam Swamy is an albatross around the BJP’s neck. Neither can the Rajnath-Modi due get rid of him, neither understand him. Rajnath took offense to Swamy’s comments of Vaiko. In a way, the lotus party has offered a New Delhi seat to Swamy, but Swamy himself is not keen on contesting from there, and wants a seat from north-east Mumbai for himself.
