Q: What's your first reaction? Are you relieved they couldn't produce a big bang against you?
Nitin Gadkari: What could they have produced against me? This is a conspiracy from the beginning against the BJP - just an attempt to show as if we are all thieves so that their political party can be launched. IAC activists have damaged only their credibility...What rules were bent? What is the scam? Waste land was given to our charitable trust for raising sugarcane nursery after 22 years of it was acquired and lying barren. Secondly, our projects don't consume even 0.85 % of dam water…(Arvind) Kejriwal must see what we are doing and how farmers are benefitted. Instead of showing our calendar to mock us, they should see what's on there.
Q: But why are you on their target?
Nitin Gadkari: Ever since I came to Delhi to take over as BJP president in 2010, I have been targeted without any evidence, whatsoever. First, it was about a girl's death in Nagpur. Maharashtra police crime branch investigated and found no evidence. Then, it was about my having a flat in the Adarsh Society, which was again totally baseless. Later, it was that I was a business partner with (NCP leader) Sharad Pawar and Ajay Sancheti! Tell me, have I taken any contract or land from the government for my benefit? If one charge is proved, I will quit politics.
