BJP lawmaker Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday had a twitter blast after he compared BSP supremo Mayawati to the US President Donald Trump in a tweet.
Swamy said:
In UP I think Mayavati will pull off a Donald Trump.

Swamy was quick to retract, as an hour after in another tweet he corrected himself, “In my tweet on UP elections I had intended to say Namo. Instead by oversight I said Mayavati. Error is regretted,” Swamy tweeted.
