TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Maharashtra Minister and senior Congress leader Ashok Chavan has praised Union Minister Nitin Gadkari saying that he is the right man in the wrong party.
Addressing mediapersons via video conferencing, Chavan said, “I often talk about Nitin Gadkari. I had praised him the day before yesterday. He is an efficient minister. There are many issues which are related to basic amenities and infrastructure of Maharashtra. Gadkari takes those subjects seriously. I publicly praise his way of working either by writing articles or via tweets.”
“But praising him does not mean that I support him politically. After all, he is a minister in the National Democratic Alliance government. So all I will say is that he is the right man but in the wrong party,” he said.
On Sunday when the NDA government at the centre was celebrating the completion of seven years in office, Congress leader Ashok Chavan accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government of failing to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
