Senior BJP leader Nitin Gadkari is known for his outspoken statements. In an interview given to Mumbai, he spoke openly on the current situation of BJP and many important issues.
Gadkari said that leaders and workers from different parties are continuing to join BJP. He said, ‘BJP is a party of workers. New people are coming for different reasons. It is our responsibility to train them, teach them ideology and make them our workers. Our efforts are continuing. Thousands of workers work hard, but sometimes the wrong word of one worker spoils the hard work of thousands.
