Subramanian Swamy’s Bipolar Jibe At Priyanka Gandhi Kicks Up A Row

Jan 29, 2019, 12:31 IST

Former Union Minister and BJP leader Subramanian Swamy is known to court controversy. His recent personal attack on Priyanka Gandhi Vadra saying she suffered from bipolar disorder, did not go down well with Twitterati. Expectedly, there was a large section up in arms on the popular microblogging site, panning the maverick politician.

S Swamy on #PriyankaGandhiVadra : Usko 1 bimari hai jo sarvjanik jivan mein anukool aur upyukt nahi hai, usko bipolarity kehte hain yaani uski hinsawadi charitra dikhai padti hai, logon ko peet'ti hai. Public ko pata hona chaiye ki kab santulan kho baithegi, kisi ko pata nahi. pic.twitter.com/psVoVcbnvx

So you guys are OK with corrupts and bigots ruling the country? Also, mental health is not disease. #PriyankaGandhi #PriyankaEntersPolitics #SubramanianSwamy https://t.co/jnVniqDwCp

The BJP leader was reminded that it is insensitive to Priyanka as well as people with the disorder which is treatable.

This is so insensitive to PG as well as people with BPAD. It is treatable and these people lead normal lives unlike #SubramanianSwamy #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #sickBJP #feku #GoBackModi https://t.co/avkSK4ArkW

#SubramanianSwamy 's latest statement about Priyanka Gandhi, not only is vile, but reeks of stigma towards those who suffer - and mostly in silence - from mental health issues. And does nothing to carry forward the conversation about mental health.https://t.co/MbUcX7IqlZ
