Party spokesperson Rashid Alvi also dismissed the allegation of BJP leader Arun Jaitley that the government did not want to run the Rajya Sabha because of its number game.
"She (Swaraj) nether read nor understood the November 4 speech delivered by the Congress President at Ramlila Ground and acted in line with BJP's tendency to mislead the people and the nation.
"Without understanding it, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha said a number of things quoting Gandhi, which has no connection with truth," party spokesperson Rashid Alvi told reporters here.
Yesterday Swaraj had in Lok Sabha targetted Gandhi on her statement that the fastest pace of development has been witnessed by UPA-II government.
"Except for seven years, there had been Congress governments between 1952 and 2012...Were you challenging the government headed by your mother-in-law (Indira Gandhi) or the one headed by your husband (Rajiv Gandhi)," Swaraj had posed.
"Who were you referring to"? Swaraj had asked. Gandhi shot back saying she was referring to "you" (BJP).

Alvi today sought to rebut the BJP leader's contentions noting that Gandhi in her speech was asking from BJP on whether they ever ran a government which took so many "revolutionary" steps in such a short time for the development of both rural and urban areas like the UPA did.
"She has not read Gandhi's speech and absolutely wrong meanings were derived from what the Congress President had said. BJP and its leaders should comment only after reading something properly and stop misquoting," he said.
