Subramanian was reinforcing his contention that he had presented before the US Congress in March 2014, reported the Times of India

After targeting Raghuram Rajan, the central bank governor, his nemesis Subramanian Swamy-the Rajya Sabha MP and the enfant terrible of the opposition, is going for the jugular of Arvind Subramanian, the chief economic adviser of the Modi government.

In a series of tweets, the maverick MP has asked for the removal of Subramanian. Here are some of his tweets targetted at Subramanian.

Guess who encouraged Congi to become rigid on GST clauses ? Jaitely's economic adviser Arvind Subramanian of Washington DC — Subramanian Swamy (@Swamy39) June 22, 2016

Modi’s chief economic adviser Arvind Subramanian had opposed India on IPR till recently https://t.co/G98SdrI2Ek via @timesofindia — Subramanian Swamy (@Swamy39) June 22, 2016

Who said to US Cong on 13/3/13 the US should act against India to defend US Pharmaceuticals interests? Arvind Subramanian MoF !! Sack him!!! — Subramanian Swamy (@Swamy39) June 22, 2016

A Times of India report in 2014 had said that Subramanian had urged the US to ‘initiate disputes against India before the World Trade Organization.’ Subramanian, the report said, had pointed out to the fact that pharmaceutical companies in India sought frivolous patents and then sought extensions on these patents by `tweaking existing drugs’, which they then termed as innovations.

Subramanian was reinforcing his contention that he had presented before the US Congress in March 2014, reported the Times of India.

What next? Will the Modi government choose to keep quiet and let its vociferous MP run spew abuses and accusations at its chief economic advisor? Or will PM Modi step in and contain the noise? Or is it a well-planned orchestration of Modi and his cabinet to let the town crier Swamy lead the ‘oust campaign’ against appointed authorities of the government and then force the latter to quit?
