New Delhi: A video went viral on social media which shows Nitin Gadkari admitting that his Modi government made false claims to come to power. But now BJP leader and union minister has denied it and suggested that Rahul Gandhi should learn Marathi to understand the comments.
Government and BJP are stunned by the union minister’s comments. During an interview with Nana Patekar Nitin Gadkari on a Marathi channel, last week admitted that his government failed to fulfil the promises made to people.
Union Road and Transport Minister said that the Narendra Modi government came to power on the basis of unrealistic promises. He said BJP never estimated to come to power in 2014. “We were very confident that we can never come to power. So our people suggested us to make tall promises. If we don’t come to the power, we won’t be responsible anyways. Now people remind us of our promises…we just laugh and move on.”
The video has given fresh fodder to the Congress to attack BJP. Congress president Rahul Gandhi shared the video on Twitter, saying “You are right (Gadkari). Even the people think that the BJP used their dreams and faith for the party’s gain to come to power.”
