Swamy tweeted: "The BJP IT cell has gone rogue. Some of its members are putting out fake ID tweets to make personal attacks on me. If my angered followers make counter personal attacks I cannot be held resonsible just as BJP cannot be held respinsible for the rogue IT cell of the party (sic)."

Subramanian Swamy Hits Out at BJP IT Cell:

When a Twitter user asked Swamy to ignore those members of the BJP IT cell who are targetting him, the BJP leader said: "I am ignoring but BJP must sack them. One Malaviya character is running riot with filth. We are a party of Maryada Purushottam not of Ravan or Dushasan."

At the time of writing (2:50 pm IST on Monday), the BJP and Malviya were yet to respond on Swamy's allegations. Here it may be noted that Swamy had been advocating postponement of the NEET and JEE in view of the coronavirus pandemic. However, the BJP government at the Centre, went decided against it.
