“I will not compromise with my ideology. There was no question of accepting the offer. It is not my aim to become prime minister. I am living my ideology with my conviction,” Gadkari asserted.
People were hinting at Gadkari for the post of the Prime Miniser in the third term itself. But Gadkari said that he was not looking at the post.
union minister Nitin Gadkari said that he had received offers to become prime minister “multiple times” before and after Lok Sabha polls.
Gadkari made the statement at the India Today conclave when asked if he could divulge details about his earlier remark that an opposition party leader had offered support if he was ready to take up the post of PM.
“I have received such an offer multiple times, even before the (Lok Sabha) election and afterwards,” he said.
When the interviewers sought to know if Mr Gadkari had received offers to become PM after the Lok Sabha results in June, the senior BJP leader evaded the query and said he was leaving it to the mediapersons to decipher.
