UPA will last its full term: Narayan Rane

"Indian National Congress is an 126-year-old party. The Congress-led government at the Centre and in Maharashtra will complete their five-year terms," the Maharashtra Industries Minister said without naming Pawar.

He was speaking to reporters last night after paying obeisance at Sai Baba shrine.

Addressing the 5th National Convention of his party at Vadodara on October 11, Pawar had said that his party was ready for snap polls, though he ruled out any threat to stability of UPA government.

On former deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, Rane said, "As he is strengthening NCP, the Congress is also building up its organisation."

Rane said BJP was levelling baseless allegations against Congress leaders but "is unmindful of what is burning under its feet" in the states ruled by it.

Responding to a query on chances of Shiv Sena and MNS coming together, Rane said, "even if that happens, that will have no impact on Congress."

On Madhav Gadgil Committee report on Western Ghats, Rane said the state government was against its implementation.

"The government will approach Central government on the issue," he said.
