As Congress leader Sonia Gandhi celebrated her 73rd Birthday on December 9, well wishes poured in from all her family, friends, followers and political allies. However, Dr. Subramanian Swamy couldn't help but link the dual significances of the day. The BJP Rajya Sabha MP took to his official Twitter handle and stated how India is celebrating the world Anti Corruption Day on the same day as Congress party happens to be celebrating Sonia Gandhi's birthday.
He issued the following tweet:
Subramanian Swamy has long been a crusader against UPA-era corruption, being involved in multiple high-profile cases against Congress leaders, including in the National Herald case over which Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are currently out on bail.
Earlier on December 3, when former Union Finance Minister and Congress leader P. Chidambaram has been granted bail by Supreme Court after 106 days of being arrested in the INX Media Case, BJP leader Sambit Patra had taken to Twitter and described how P. Chidambaram had joined the long list of Congress party's “OOBC(Out On Bail Club)”.
