Gadkari said that writers, intellectuals and poets should express their ideas openly.

Gadkari said this at a book launch event at the MIT World Peace University in Pune on Friday. Gadkari said that writers, intellectuals and poets should express their ideas openly and strongly.
What is happening in politics these days has also happened in other places (foreign countries). Until the existence of the party was erased.
A person in power must also tolerate strong opinions against him Gadkari further said- The real test of our democracy is that the person in power should tolerate even the strong opinion against him and if there is opposition, he should be self-reflective. Citing the Constitution, Gadkari said that the Constitution gives freedom of expression to everyone. He also said, 'We are called the mother of democracy, standing on the four pillars of legislature, executive, judiciary and media. Our Constitution spells out the rights and responsibilities of everyone. The Constitution allows thinkers to express their views without any fear of national interest.
Explain the original meaning of Gita, Quran and Bible Gadkari said the country cannot move forward with social inequality motivated by caste or religion. The basic idea of Gita, Quran and Bible is same. It is an individual's choice how to pray to his God. Just as we have freedom of speech, we also have freedom of religion.

Gadkari further said- 'I asked him why would you support me and why should I take your support? Becoming PM is not my life goal. I am loyal to my organization. I will not settle for any position. My determination is most important to me.
Gadkari had said – As soon as weight is placed on the file, the work is done quickly Earlier on September 15, Gadkari participated in the Engineers Day program at College of Engineering Pune (COEP). He said that there should be transparency to complete any work in our country. Sometimes the circumstances are such that even filling potholes on the roads requires orders from sir. I don't want to say too much about them now, but sometimes the work starts as soon as the money is in hand. We have the 'Father of Newton' here, the more weight you put on the file the faster the job gets done.
