Gadkari is one leader who never hesitates to talk against his own party. He openly predicted that the BJP was losing some seats in the earlier elections. Now he says that the 4th term is not guaranteed for the BJP.
The Union Minister teased his cabinet colleague Ramdas Athawale over his ability to hold onto his cabinet spot across multiple governments.
“It may not be guaranteed that our government will return for a fourth term, but what is guaranteed is that Ramdas Athawale will become a minister,” he remarked at an event in Maharashtra’s Nagpur.
The playful jibe, with Mr Athawale present on stage, was followed by Gadkari clarifying that he was “just joking.”
Mr Athawale, leader of the Republican Party of India (RPI), has served as a minister three times and expressed confidence in continuing his streak if the BJP returns to power. The news is viral on the web.
It may be recalled that people and media were rating him as the next PM of India. But Gadkari clarified that he is not aspiring to be the PM of the country. He is a happy-going man and a food lover too.
