Pawar reiterated his warning to take action against officials for laxity in implementing the 100-day programme.

"It is our responsibility to provide good administration to the people. Officers are duty-bound to implement the 100-day programme. If I found someone (doing wrong), I will not spare that person," he added.

Earlier in the day, Pawar faced protests from CPI(M) workers who tried to stop his convoy while demanding a farm loan waiver for farmers.

Pawar is scheduled to meet the family members of the victims of the tractor trolley accident of April 4 which killed seven women.

The accident occurred when a tractor-trolley carrying them plunged into a well in Nanded district.
