He said even on Wednesday in Akluj, Mr Modi criticised him, saying ''''Mr Pawar is engaged in resolving issues related with sugar lobby with using power. He (Mr Pawar) questioned, is that wrong to fulfill issues relating to sugar industry? He said he was not the chairman of any sugar factory, but working for the farmers through an institution, which care how to produce good sugar. He said that after Pulwama explosion in which about 40 Jawans killed, all opposition parties strongly stand behind the Jawans for their bravery, but Mr Modi was taking political credit without taking care of their family members.
