Swamy explains his remark, says bloodshed means chaos

June 25, 2016 20:22

BJP MP Subramanian Swamy today sought to downplay his threat of "bloodbath" making it clear he did not intend the literal meaning of the word but only hinted at "chaos" which has not happened.

"I said I am the most disciplined person. If I was indisciplined, there would not be what they called as bloodshed. Bloodshed did not mean blood spilling. Bloodshed means there will be chaos. And I said that because I am disciplined, nothing of that kind happened," he told a press conference.

The BJP leader said his usage of the word was 'misunderstood' as everyone took the literal meaning of bloodshed. Asked about the reported unhappiness of the BJP leadership over his attacks targeting those in the finance ministry, he said, "That is what your press is saying. I don't know."
