"The Delhi serial blasts will have no effect on the ongoing peace process between India and Pakistan," Jaiswal told reporters in Sultanpur.

"There are some terrorist organisations who do not want relations between the two countries to improve, but they will not succeed in their designs," he said.

Security agencies probing the serial blasts in Delhi had obtained important clues and the culprits would soon be exposed, the minister said.

He admitted that local intelligence, especially of police, needed further improvement and said the government was taking necessary steps in this direction.

He decried the state government for what he alleged "leaking" its correspondence with the governor.

On the state's demand for funds for police modernisation, Jaiswal said further funds would be released only when the state government furnished the utilisation certificate with regard to funds already released in the past.
