Nitin Gadkari on 2019 Lok Sabha polls: 'Have Congress worker's support'

Nitin Gadkari said, “I have worked for all irrespective of their caste, religion, language and party affiliation. A huge number of Congress workers and office-bearers phone me and tell me not to worry.”

He further added that “They say though we are physically there (in the Congress), our hearts are with you (Gadkari) and hence I have support from all.”

As BJP handed him a ticket from the home turf Nagpur, Nitin Gadkari has received praises from across the political spectrum, including the Congress, Left and the SP. In the Nagpur constituency itself, Gadkari had announced that he initiated development projects worth Rs 70,000 crore and the Road & Transport Ministry has been fully efficient in maintaining its track record since 2014.

Gadkari further said, “I have decided not to take the name of opposition candidates and not criticise any party. I will tell the people about the work that I have done and will seek the votes on the basis of work done by me.”
