He insisted that this should not be construed as any dilution of Congress' commitment towards these measures, which remain an "article of faith" for the party.
"We will ensure that after fullest deliberations by the legislature, these measures which are conceived by the Congress are translated into a reality," the minister said.
Tewari used the occasion to attack BJP, saying the opposition party repeatedly disrupted Parliament for the last five years, thus scutting deliberations on these measures.
"There is a huge difference between the talk and actions by BJP," he said, adding the Congress party will highlight this during campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls.
