Conspiracy theorist[edit]

I am not seeing the justification for this recently added descriptive in the lead. He appears to have aired controversial/unsubstantiated claims as this source puts forth but which only mentions the label in passing. The second source is also more about BJP dissidents, including Swami, rather than his conspiracy theories.

Even beyond these sources, the preponderance of the sources on the page (and the article itself) focus on his economics, politics and litigation rather than him being a prominent conspiracy theorist. This label is generally reserved for people who are patently known for airing conspiracy theories not for people who have in addition to their primary vocations aired them. See for e.g. the articles and Talk page discussions of Donald Trump, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson and others where similar labelling has been rejected for the leads.
