No one can say that Gadkari the Minister will not get the seat to contest. Not giving his name in the first list does not mean that he is ignored.
In some ways Gadkari is more popular that the PM Modi. He is a popular leader and a good taskmaster. Gadkari will contest and win the election and there is no doubt about it.
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray has again asked Union Minister Nitin Gadkari to leave the BJP if he is being “insulted”, saying the opposition in Maharashtra would ensure his victory in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Speaking at a rally at Pusad inYavatmal district Thackeray said people like Kripashankar Singh, whom the BJP once targeted over alleged corruption, figured in the saffron party’s first list of candidates along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but Gadkari’s name was missing.
“I had told Gadkari this two days ago, and I am repeating it again. If you are being insulted, leave the BJP and join the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). We will ensure your victory.
We will make you a minister when our government comes to power, and it will be a post with powers,” he said.
