After going philosophical yesterday, Subramanian Swamy was today back in political mode asserting his faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi, admiring his spine while taking potshots at journalists.

In the wake of Modis apparent snub on Monday in a television interview in which he had called Swamys attack on Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan and top Finance Ministry officials inappropriate, Swamy yesterday had quoted Lord Krishna to say a small change in one parameter effects changes in all variables.

But today the Bharatiya Janata Party Rajya Sabha MP's quotes covered a variety of subjects including the one in which he said someone like former Comptroller and Auditor General Vinod Rai would be welcome as RBI Governor.

I have said before and saying now: Come hell or high water I stand by Modi. I admire his spine. No foreign power can buckle him, he said in one of his tweets.

Presstitutes are daily planting deliberately false stories hoping I will be provoked to reply. Ha! They have a hope!, he said in another tweet.

He also said that todays business and finance papers have confirmed the news that in effect his predictions about a banking crisis are imminent.
