NEW DELHI: Senior BJP leader and nominated Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy is back in the news by equating Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti with the "tail of a dog, which can't be straightened" in a TV interview.

"There should be President's rule in her place ...she is like tail of a dog, which can't be straightened," said Swamy , in clear defiance of the party which is a partner in the PDP-led coalition government.

"Mehbooba kabhi sudhregi nahi" (Mehbooba will never change,)" said Swamy and added, "She has old links with terrorists". He said the BJP formed a coalition government with Mehbooba on the hope she will "reform" herself.

Swamy's comments fly in the face of the synergy between Mehbooba and PM Narendra Modi as was seen when they met last week and agreed on the common goal to combat terrorism and address popular demands.

"Laldenga was a terrorist but he became Mizoram chief minister and ran a successful government," said Swamy.
