Gadkari slams distortion of statement, warns of legal action

August 25, 2022 19:14

The normally affable Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has had it with what he calls 'concoction' of his public statements by 'some section of mainstream media, social media and some persons.'

In a tweet, Gadkari said: 'Today, once again, efforts were being made to continue the nefarious & fabricated campaign against me for political mileage on my behest by some section of mainstream media, social media and some persons in particular by concocting my statements at public programmes without context or correct reference.

'Although, I've never been disturbed by such malicious agendas of fringe elements but all concerned are hereby warned that If such mischief continue I will not hesitate to take them to the law in the larger interest of our Government, Party and millions of our hardworking Karyakartas.

'Therefore, I'm sharing the link of what I had actually said.'

For those interested in knowing what exactly the minister said, here's the link.
