Gadkari says he is not puppet of any saffron leader

New Delhi, January 24: New BJP president Nitin Gadkari says he has “100 per cent” support and cooperation from party seniors and that he was not a “puppet” of any of them.

53-year-old Gadkari, the youngest ever BJP president who assumed the high party post on December 20, asserted that he was taking his own decisions — though often after consulting senior party and RSS leaders.

Gadkari while speaking to Karan Thapar in CNN-IBN’s “Devil’s Advocate” programme also denied he is an RSS appointee and that he was imposed on the party.

“100 percent, I’m telling you that all leaders are with me.
