Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, who has been consistent with his criticism against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, launched a fresh attack on him on Tuesday morning, hours after PM Modi landed in Russia.
Hitting out at PM Modi, Swamy wrote in a social media post, "Putin did not come to the airport to receive Modi? Putin had received Xi."
Referring to Russia as a junior partner of China, Swamy wrote in another post, "If China decides to seize more Indian territory, Russia will not help seriously. Instead of lamenting as Nehru did in 1962, we should prepare now to arm ourselves, even buying from the West if necessary. Russia will sell us only what China allows."
Yesterday, Swamy accused PM Modi of purchasing obsolete weapons from Russia.
"Modi went to Moscow to buy obsolete Russian-made weapons. These weapons were sold to Russia's senior partner, China, about 8 years ago. Now these weapons are outdated. China is acquiring Russia's latest weapons, but not Modi. This issue should be raised in our Parliament," said Swamy in another social media post.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in Moscow on Monday. Upon arrival in Russia, PM Modi expressed his eagerness to further deepen the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between our nations, particularly in futuristic areas of cooperation.
"Strengthened ties between our nations will greatly benefit our people," he added.
