Union minister Nitin Gadkari Statement: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, while addressing a program in Nagpur, mentioned former President APJ Abdul Kalam. He said that he will kick hard anyone who talks about caste. Nitin Gadkari said that a person is not great because of his caste, religion, sect, but because of his qualities.
In his address, the Union Minister said that when Abdul Kalam became a nuclear scientist, he did such work that today his name is famous not only in his country but all over the world. I believe that a person is known not by his caste, sect, religion, language or gender, but by his qualities. Therefore, we will not discriminate against anyone on the basis of caste, sect, religion, language or gender.

He further said that I am in politics and all this keeps happening here, but I refuse it, whether I get votes from it or not. Many people come to meet me based on caste. I told 50,000 people that if anyone talks about caste, I will kick him hard.
Nitin Gadkari further said that on this statement of his, my friends told me that I have harmed myself by saying this. I said- whatever will happen will happen. I am not worried about it. No one dies by losing an election, but I will stick to my principles and follow them in my personal life.
