- He said Gadkari has a big business empire and his interests range from power to sugar to ethanol.
- He gave example of a farmer named Gajanan Ghagde who approached the government seeking return of his land.But the government pressed the farmer's request for almost two years but when Gadkari wrote a letter seeking transfer of the same land to him, Pawar wrote a letter recommending it in four days, he alleged.
