Addressing a function organised by the Ex MLAs Association (Rajasthan Pragatisheel Munch) here, Dhankhar responded to allegations that dignitaries holding high constitutional posts were "working under pressure".
He said: "There has been no pressure on me. Neither do I exert pressure (upon others) nor do I succumb to pressure (from others)".
Drawing pride from his Rajasthan origin, the vice president said - "I have drunk water of Rajasthan, one who has consumed Rajasthan's water can not succumb'.
In this context he made special mention of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and former Vice President late Bhairon Singh Shekhawat.
