Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Saturday said the government is not being run under the obligations of the Congress.

"Why should they resign? Are we running the government under the obligations of the Congress party? We are running it for the people. Everyday they are spreading false rumours but they should understand that they are not going to benefit from it," said Naqvi.

In more trouble for the BJP, which has been defending Swaraj, despite opposition demands that she be sacked for helping Lalit Modi, the former IPL boss has claimed that Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje secretly supported his immigration plea in Britain.
