He also said that the allegations of scams against the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government relate only to its first term and not to UPA-II.
In the general election of 2009, the Congress party won "hands down", he said adding: "I am sure when the results of 2014 come out, the country will once again be surprised."
The prime minister also said that though the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may be perceived to be running ahead of the Congress with an aggressive election campaign but the "slow and steady" would win the race.
