To a query on the Adarsh case, Chavan said, “The matter is sub-judice.

Let us wait and watch. The legal provisions are very clear. I have not been convicted. The legal process will take its own course.”

“Ultimately, the stamp of approval will be given by the people of Nanded constituency, who will decide what is true and what is hype,” Chavan said.

“When we talk about morality, I think the people of Nanded are more responsible to take a decision on this issue,” he said.

Asked if winnability was the main issue which prompted Congress to field him, Chavan said, “I am not saying winnability is not an issue, but there are other factors. 

“People of Nanded have stood by us and they are confident that I have done no wrong,” the Congress leader said.
