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”.

Responding to a question on rising fuel prices, Gadkari said that the only solution is alternative fuel, like ethanol, methanol, bio-diesel, bio-CNG and electric vehicles.

Responding to a question on 'Aap Ki Adalat', Gadkari said Rahul Gandhi was harming his own party more by abusing PM Modi.

This apart, massive projects for river front development and boosting cargo transportation by developing the National Waterways 1 on Ganga are also on, Gadkari said.  

Gadkari said if biofuel could also cut on India’s huge aviation fuel imports, and if “we could save Rs 30,000 crore spent now” through innovation and technology, it would be a great contribution to country’s economic health.

Urging automakers to focus in this direction, the minister said demand for EVs could also be created by mandating cab aggregators like Ola and Uber to induct a certain percentage of such vehicles in their fleet.
