BJP MP Subramanian Swamy Says That He Can’t Be A Chowkidar Because He Is A Brahmin

Narendra Modi urged his supporters to take the ‘Main Bhai Chowkidar’ pledge, saying he is not alone in the fight. The BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has given a twist to party’s ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ campaign saying he cannot be chowkidar because he is a Brahmin.

Subramanian Swamy made the comment while giving an interview to a Tamil channel says that , “I cannot become a Chowkidar because I am Brahmin. Brahmins can’t be chowkidars.

Modi himself started the “Main Bhi Chowkidar” campaign and later he added Chowkidar with his name, that was followed by BJP leaders including his cabinet colleagues. Subramanian Swamy is among the few BJP leaders who has not added the prefix with his name on Twitter, Swamy’s response also shows the existing caste mentality in the country.
