Dr Swamy’s first day in Rajya Sabha after 17 years:.
.
After 17 years, breaking all the barriers of Lutyens Delhi, the irrepressible Subramanian Swamy is entering Parliament today, Monday, the 25th of April 2016.
.
.
Swamy’s first entered Rajya Sabha in 1974 as a Jan Sangh MP. His first question in the house was to the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, on how General Insurance allotted an Agency to her Italian daughter-in-law Sonia Gandhi. Insurance Agency allotment was only for Indian citizens and it was a clear cut violation. Continuing his charges, Swamy brought out documents showing most of the vehicles of Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and other government offices were insured through Italian daughter-in-law Sonia Gandhi’s Insurance Agency and thus it was also a violation of Foreign Exchange Regulation Law.
.
.
Hearing the question Indira Gandhi lost her temper and the ruling Congress MPs created hell in the House leading to an adjournment. But the next day, Indira Gandhi admitted that Sonia “made a mistake” by applying for an Insurance Agency (!) and had cancelled on previous day evening itself after Swamy had pointed out the “error”.
.
.
This was perhaps an implicit admission on part of the Prime Minister that the case was water tight and there was no way out. While his opponents never tire of saying that he is a maverick and can’t be trusted, history has proved that once Swamy trains his guns on an issue, he is seldom wrong. For starters he has never had a defamation case registered and proven.
.
.
.
Now, like the ‘Return of the Dragon’, Swamy is entering into Parliament through Rajya Sabha.
.
.
From his comments on Twitter, it is easily seen that he would not spare Sonia Gandhi. Now it would be fun to watch Rajya Sabha TV.
.
.
.
In the midst of all the UPA related scandals such as National Herald, Aircel-Maxis, Jet-Etihad deal, Sunanda’s murder etc., Swamy has unearthed a new one, about a Pakistani lady called Farida Ataullah.
.
.
According to Swamy, this lady is closely connected to ISI and is based in Sharjah. Farida is a close friend of Sonia Gandhi. She has been travelling frequently to Delhi for the past 45 years and was a major presence at the Priyanka – Robert Vadra wedding.
.
.
We will have to wait and see what documents and dossiers Swamy is going to produce in the Parliament on this.
.
.
He will not hesitate to use the Parliamentary forum to raise questions, interventions, and jump into debates against Sonia, Rahul, P Chidambaram, and family.
.
.
.
One thing is sure – Swamy knows how to tackle the enemies and will change the chemistry and power equations in Rajya Sabha.
.
.
The last bastion currently controlled by Congress and Left is under serious threat. Coming days are going to be full of fun and fire in Rajya Sabha with BJP shifting gears from low to high.
