Nitin Gadkari (@FresherPortal/Twitter)
Union Minister for Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India, Nitin Gadkari has announced that he is not in the race for the prime ministerial post and has said that Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister and shall be the same after the upcoming elections, reports The Hindu.
Gadkari has also claimed that his party- the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will sweep the upcoming elections with a thumping majority and has said that the country would go ahead on the path of development under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating, “we are standing behind him.”
Furthermore, Gadkari said that he is a ‘pure- Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) man’ and his mission is to work for the nation, and that the country is progressing in terms of development and growth under the Modi leadership.
When asked why he is the opposition’s favourite man in the incumbent government, he said that he a workaholic and “Whoever comes to me, my thinking remains positive. I tell my officials, ‘He has come to me… that means he has some problem. Keep a positive approach and solve it. If not possible say why it cannot be done.’ I do not behave as per political calculations. This is my natural behaviour, and that is why opponents also become friends.”
Taking a jibe at the speculations arising of him being a prospective prime ministerial candidate in case of a fractured mandate, he said that it is like “Mungeri Lal Ke Haseen Sapne” (daydreaming).
