Those who do good work never get respect and those who do bad work never get punished : Union Minister Nitin Gadkari

New Delhi – “I always say this jokingly that no matter which party’s Government it is, one thing is sure that the one who does good work never gets respect and those who do bad work are never punished,” said Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, without taking names.

Gadkari expressed concern over opportunist leaders keen on remaining associated with the ruling party. He asserted that while there were politicians who were rooted in their ideology, their numbers were gradually decreasing. He also said that such “deterioration in ideology” did not bode well for a democracy.

He asserted that differences of opinion were not a problem in debates and discussions. “Our problem is lack of ideas,” said the senior BJP leader. “There are people who stand firm with conviction based on their ideology, but the number of such people is declining. This deterioration in ideology, which is happening, is not good for democracy”.

Gadkari added, “In Politics, we have neither rightist nor leftist, they are just opportunists. These folks just want to remain associated with the ruling party come what may.”
