"We need to understand the spirit behind the term discipline. Indiscipline is not a subject for discussion but for execution. No indiscipline will be tolerated," Gadkari told reporters during his first interaction with the press.
When asked about his future plans, including appointment of office-bearers who would form part of his team, Gadkari said performance and not proximity would be the criteria for it.
"Since, I am from a management background, I always say that whether financial audit is done or not, performance audit is a must," he said, adding, an internal performance audit mchanism would be devised to ensure good governance at every level where BJP is in power.
Clarifying that a change of guard at the top does not mean a change in ideology, Gadkari said BJP's stand on Article 370 (special status to Jammu and Kashmir), Ram temple at Ayodhya and uniform civil code would continue.
Criticising appeasement politics for votebank, he said, "We believe in genuine secularism. Justice to all, appeasement of none. What starts as appeasement of minorities becomes appeasement of terrorists."
