Days after claiming success in ensuring RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan does not get a second term, BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has now trained his guns on Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian.

In tweets early Wednesday morning, Swamy said it was time for the government to sack the CEA claiming he wasn’t in agreement with the BJP government’s policies including, most recently, its IPR policy.

“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!!!” Swamy said in another tweet.

Speaking to news agency ANI Wednesday morning, Swamy said: “Such people who can fail our government, such people should be tossed out. Now, it has been two years. He (Arvind) used to work in America, don’t even know if he’s a citizen or not but I’m sure he has a green card (sic).”
