Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Vinayak Raut on Sunday urged Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nitin Gadkari to join the opposition INDIA bloc. He said the UBT would strive to make Mr. Gadkari the next prime minister.
Speaking in Maharashtra’s Hingoli district, Mr. Raut, who represents the Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg Lok Sabha constituency, further claimed there was a plot by the BJP central leadership to finish-off Mr. Gadkari’s political career as the latter was viewed as a serious contender for the PM’s post.
