"Modi Will Be PM, Not..."

Nitin Gadkari has often been described as the best-performing minister of the Modi Cabinet.

Gadkari, the BJP nominee from Nagpur is eyeing a 3rd term and has set himself a challenge of a five lakh victory margin. Here, he speaks on his relationship with PM Modi, his ambitions, whether he feels he has got his due given his stature as former president and high-performing minister- and why he wants to phase out petrol and diesel cars entirely.
