Sources have stated that with the cancellation of two functions where Subramania Swamy was to speak, BJP members felt a sense of relief when PM Narendra Modi plainly stated that Swamy's comments on RBI governor and his veiled attacks on finance minister Arun Jaitley were inappropriate.
Meanwhile the Party sources, who found it difficult to speak out against Swamy without receiving clear instructions from the top leadership, has agreed that the Rajya Sabha MP should not miss the unambiguous signals.
It is added that the BJP leadership, however, has been aware of the embarrassment Swamy has caused and was moving to rein him in and he has been spoken to on previous occasions too but the MP has renewed his unilateral campaigns after a brief break.
By the time the party spokespersons were in a fix over how to deal with Swamy, who was on rampage on Twitter, escalating his open attack against the government's top officials and Jaitley, beyond saying that they were his "personal views" on the first day of the attack.
