Here’s how Nitin Gadkari responded to politician’s advice of joining Congress party

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has “strong faith” in the BJP’s principles. He says he would rather jump into a well than join the Congress party.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said a politician had once advised him to join the Congress party. In reply to the avise, Gadkari said he would prefer jumping into a well than join the Congress party. Nitin Gadkari added that he has “strong faith” in the BJP’s principles and would keep working for the party it.

Gadkari recalled the counsel previously offered by late Congress leader Shrikant Jichkar while speaking to a crowd in Bhandara, Maharashtra, on Friday to commemorate nine years of the Narendra Modi administration at the Center.

‘You are a very excellent party worker and leader, and if you join the Congress, you will have a brilliant future,’ Jichkar once told me. Gadkari was reported by news agency PTI as stating, “But I assured him that I have high trust in the BJP and its principles and would continue to fight for it. I would sooner jump into a well than join the Congress.

Nitin Gadkari said the BJP government at the Centre has done twice the amount of work in India during its nine years of administration as compared to what Congress had done in 10 years of its rule.

The Minister said that Congress created a number of educational institutes for “personal gains” during its protracted tenure at the Centre. He added that since the founding of Congress, there have been several splits.

“We must remember the democratic past of our nation. To improve the future, we must take lessons from the past. The Congress used the motto “Garibi Hatao” (eradicate poverty) throughout its 60 years in power, but created a number of educational institutions for private benefit, he claimed.

PM Modi has been praised by Gadkari. Nitin Gadkari also commended PM Modi for his goal of making India a superpower financially.
