The BJP stalwart on Saturday had said nobody is willing to own up to failure unlike success and maintained "leadership should have the 'vrutti' (tendency) to own up defeat and failures".

Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday said "leadership" should own up to "defeat and failures" also, days after his party lost polls in three Hindi heartland states.

"Whatever were loopholes, we’ll work on them for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. We'll win the polls and Modiji will be PM again," Gadkari said.

Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Thursday laid foundation for National Highway projects worth Rs 9,533 crore in land-locked Arunachal Pradesh.

Union minister Nitin Gadkari said that some people in the BJP need to speak less at an event on Wednesday.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has fainted during an event in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar.

"This alliance was formed only for selfishness...there is no coordination in their viewpoints...under these circumstances...running a government is not a game,” he said. 

Gadkari will participate in the Bhoomi Poojan ceremony of Mumbai Port Trust’s new Eastern Water Front, the shipping ministry said in a statement.

“Today there is Modi ji and Amit Shah ji. Leadership has kept changing but this party has never run on any particular person's name. This party functions on the basis of thinking and principles,” he further said.

The members of the GoM are Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi, a home ministry official said.

Environmental flows are the acceptable flow regimes that are required to maintain a river in the desired environmental state or predetermined state.

Rahul Gandhi had shared the purported video on Twitter in which Gadkari says in Marathi his party had made 'tall promises' to the people.  

He said IL&FS has a new management which after analysing the situation will come up with suggestions and based on that the government is ready to help them.  

The Government of India has nothing to do with Anil Ambani’s company, he further clarified.

Speaking on the functionality of a democracy, the Union minister said the government at the Centre and the Opposition, both should be strong. 

Gadkari also proposed implementing 100 biodigesters in River Ganges.

The minister claimed that 70 to 80 per cent projects ahve been awarded but they will take at least a year to show the results.

Nitin Gadkari said that once the ring road is completed, all vehicles from Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana, bound for UP and Rajasthan can easily bypass Delhi.

Nitin Gadkari dismissed the perception that he could be the RSS’ choice for Prime Minister in case the BJP failed to get majority in 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

Gadkari ruled out any chance of an Opposition combine winning next year’s Lok Sabha elections, saying that “in politics, two plus two never becomes four”.
