Subramanian Swamy says ‘I can’t be a chowkidar because I am a brahman’
New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party MP Subramanian Swamy, on Sunday, purportedly made a casteist comment when he said that he cannot be a “chowkidar” (watchman) because he was a brahman (by caste).
On being asked on why he did not add “chowkidar” before his name on Twitter in line with other BJP members who did so following the BJP’s #MainBhiChowkidar campaign, Swamy, in an interview to a Tamil news channel, Thanthi TV, said, “I am a brahmin. I cannot become a chowkidar. I will teach them. And as per that, I will work for the chowkidar.”

Although Modi, before adding the “chowkidar” title before his name, had tweeted that all those who were “fighting corruption, dirt, and social evils” are chowkidars.
