TerminRs the cravinRs for posts as a “British mindset”, Swamy said …”Indian Brahmins and learned persons never had any posts, yet Rajas listened to them. If I say anythinRs on any matter, the Raja listens to me. I am in that Rsood position today. “If made a Minister, I will be confined to one Ministry. Now, I can talk on entire Ministries. Don’t feel sad for me….”, Swamy quipped.
