In a rally at Arvi, Wardha, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari criticized the Congress party for failing to prioritize rural development, leading to widespread poverty and farmer suicides.
Gadkari emphasized that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is driven by its dedicated workers, rather than by leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi or himself. He praised the party workers for their crucial role in his political journey.
The minister, recalling his early days as a party worker in Vidarbha, advocated reservations for the socially and economically disadvantaged but warned against using religion and caste as political tools.
