Following the central government's announcement that External Affairs minister S jaishankar will be attending US President-elect Donald Trump's swearing-in ceremony in Washington, DC, later this month, senior bjp leader Subramanian Swamy once again used his "waiter" jibe to disparage the minister. In a post on X, Swamy said, "My US friends are laughing away at reported india media news that "India has been invited" for Trump's formal take over as US President."

"Waiter has been invited but PM was not!! Is it not an even bigger insult? Sack Waiter for accepting," Swamy further added. Swamy has previously claimed that jaishankar had been dispatched to the united states by the prime minister to obtain an invitation for him to attend the swearing-in event.
 
Jaishankar's first official trip to the united states following Donald Trump's election occurred from december 24 to 29. In light of this, Swamy had criticized prime minister Narendra Modi and the saffron party. "Modi has despatched Waiter to the US and told him to produce an invitation for him (Modi) or else he loses his job," Swamy had posted on X, alluding to the inauguration which will take place on january 20.

Additionally, he said that when Modi revealed in 2023 that he had declined Trump's invitation, he had "slighted" Trump. Swamy has previously criticized the prime minister on social media. He had previously criticized India's border relations with China.
