The statement came in the backdrop of the Congress-led UPA government facing stiff opposition from allies over various measures. "There is not even a single instance where we (NCP) have caused any hindrance (for the government). Making such a sweeping statement has caused anguish and unease for us. "I am the NCP chief.
