Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday claimed that there is something fishy about Jagdeep Dhankhar`s resignation as the vice president and asked the government to clarify it.

Kharge claimed that Dhankhar used to "defend" the BJP and the RSS more than the BJP-RSS people themselves, but still had to resign.

"The government must answer why he resigned, what the reasons are and what is the secret behind it. We feel that `daal mein kuch kaala hai (there is something fishy)`. He seems healthy and always keeps a good vocabulary. But what happened? He used to defend the BJP and the RSS more than the BJP-RSS people themselves," the Congress president said. Such was Dhankhar`s loyalty towards the BJP-RSS, Kharge added.
