I have information, but the media is too scared to report it, he added.Internal politicsSwamy also recounted his long history with Modi, saying, When Modi became Chief Minister, he used to call me because the RSS was against him. At that time, I felt it was necessary to defeat him. Others were compromising, like Arun Jaitley, who was a minister and worked with Congress. Advani had given them a lot of freedom. I wanted Modi to take strict action against them, but now he prefers to keep them hanging for political convenience.Swamy concluded his statements with a clear call for change within the party. When I fight, I do not see who is good. I only see black and white. Modi is useless, remove him, he declared.
