Netizens react to Subramanian Swamy birthday pledge
Reacting to the Subramanian Swamy birthday pledge on Twitter, many netizens took the BJP's tweet by storm and dropped different comments. When one of the netizens, named Pria Darshani Das wrote, "Please work for the poor and downtrodden. That would be nation-building of the best kind.", the BJP leader wrote, "Directly or indirectly.
