BJP leader Subramanian Swamy today extended his support to Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, who is embroiled in the Lalitgate row, calling her 'Jhansi ki Rani' and "capable of sailing through any controversy on her own". 

"Raje is Jhansi ki Rani, who has the capability to protect herself from any odd and if the need arises, I would help her," he said, while comparing the minister to the popular freedom-fighter. 

Responding to questions on why no party leader has so far issued any statement in the chief minister's support like in the case of Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, who is also facing allegations pertaining to Lalit Modi, the leader said, "I know her (Raje). She is capable of protecting herself very well. She does not need the support of any party cadre. 

"What Raje did was just a small favour to an old friend on humanitarian ground, which was not a crime," he said.
