Early Saturday morning, former Union Minister and senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy cast his vote in the Nizamuddin area of East Delhi as the Union Territory of Delhi held elections for its 7 constituencies.
After voting, Swamy took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share his support for BJP candidate Harsh Malhotra, the former East Delhi Deputy Mayor. He tweeted around 7:20 a.m. on May 25, saying, “I have cast my vote just now for the BJP candidate and former East Delhi Deputy Mayor Malhotra. I expect he will win.”
Swamy had previously expressed his support for Malhotra in a tweet on May 23. He wrote, “This coming Saturday, I shall vote for the BJP candidate for Lok Sabha (East Delhi), former Deputy Mayor Harsh Malhotra. He has a good record of service to the public and deserves to be a Lok Sabha MP. I live in East Nizamuddin.”
Following his declaration, many social media users praised Swamy for his unwavering loyalty to the BJP. One user commented, “Apart from criticising MODI day and night, your heart and soul still beat for the greater cause of the NATION and HINDUTVA. This is a matter of great CONSCIENCE. That’s something that must get fair recognition from the nation.”
