UPA will hold together even in defeat: Pawar

Pawar also felt historic legislations like the Food Security Act failed to enthuse voters as much as it should have “largely because we didn't make an aggressive campaign”.  

About a string of scams overshadowing the performance of the UPA government, the NCP leader said attention was diverted from the good work done by it due to continuous criticism by “interested parties”.

“There were some allegations and the process of inquiry started. Irrespective of that, unfortunately some continuous criticism was made by certain interested parties and whatever good things have been done, attention was diverted from those good things,” he said.  

Asked to identify the “interested parties” and if it included the CAG, which had exposed the 2G spectrum scam and Commonwealth Games scam, Pawar said, “the opposition, certain sections of administration...many people started making statements, some after retirement.

Yes, some organisations.I don't want to name them.”
