Union Minister and BJP candidate from the Lok Sabha constituency, Nitin Gadkari, asserted that if anyone feels that he has done any discrimination, then there is no need to vote for him in the Lok Sabha elections.
"All the recognition that I have received belongs to the people of Nagpur...There is a difference of opinion between wife and husband, families, political parties...In the last ten years, if I have ever done any discrimination in work or injustice to Dalits and Muslims, then there is no need to vote for me. If I have worked with sincerity, then please vote for me," Nitin Gadkari made this speech before campaigning for Phase I of the Lok Sabha elections ended today. Earlier today, Nitin Gadkari expressed immense happiness on the occasion of Ram Navami, as Ram Janmabhoomi for the very first time, is witnessing a grand celebration amid the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami. "This is a matter of immense happiness for the entire country that the Ram temple has been constructed on the birthplace of Lord Ram. Today we are celebrating Ram Navami across the country. Lord Ram is a symbol of our history and culture...Today, with Lord Ram's blessing, we have taken the resolve to establish Ram Rajya..." He further said "I consider the people of Nagpur as my family and they feel the same too. I have received a lot of love from the people of Nagpur," he said. On Tuesday, Nitin Gadkari released 'Vachan Nama' for the Nagpur Lok Sabha constituency. "We plan to open an organic fruits and vegetables and foodgrains market in Nagpur," he said. "I am 101 per cent sure of my victory. This time I will win the election with a very good margin. Given the support of the public, their enthusiasm, the hard work of the party workers, I will try my best to win with a margin of more than 5 lakhs," Gadkari said after his name was announced by the party.
