Gadkari: Truth and Confidence Over Flattery in Politics

In a bold statement during the Lokmanya Tilak National Award ceremony, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari challenged the belief that deceit and flattery define politics. Gadkari, while receiving the award, urged politicians to embody truth and confidence, drawing inspiration from leaders like the late Balasaheb Thackeray.

Speaking to an audience that included Maharashtra's top political figures, Gadkari emphasized the importance of straightforward communication. He highlighted his own election campaign, where he promised to work for all constituents, regardless of their support or community affiliations, as an example of transparent politics.

Gadkari also addressed issues within his department, underscoring that funds and technology are abundant but underutilized due to a lack of committed leadership. He stressed that honest and decisive action could harness these resources effectively, mirroring past recipients like Narendra Modi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
