New Delhi (30/08/2022): Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Monday said that on being advised to join the Congress, he had replied that he would rather “jump into a well”.
The veteran leader, who was last week dropped from the BJP’s parliamentary party, was addressing a function organised for young entrepreneurs in Nagpur on Sunday.
He also added that he disliked the ideology of Congress.
“When I was a student leader, the then Congress leader Shrikant Jichkar had said: ‘You are a good person but in the wrong party. You should join the Congress for a better political future.’ At that time my response was, ‘I would like to jump into a well and die, but never join the Congress party’ as I don’t like the Congress’s ideology,” Gadkari revealed.
