Nitin Gadkari asked the party workers to work towards winning local body elections which was the target for the coming days.
Asking his party workers and leaders to control the bad habit of over-eating if they have it, union minister Nitin Gadkari advised them to consult an appropriate doctor in this regard.
It was Gadkari at his very best when he told party workers that in BJP, the party does not work as per any single person's wish — be it Vajpayee, Advani, Modi or Amit Shah — since BJP has altogether different character which the party workers need to understand.
Addressing the concluding session of the two-day state level executive meeting of the BJP state unit in Pune, Gadkari asked the party workers to work towards winning local body elections which was the target for the coming days.
"One has to learn to leave bad habits", he began and cited his own example. "Everyone knows I had a habit of over-eating and I had to undergo a surgery for the same. Now, doctors have ensured I cannot consume more than one samosa. So, I overcome this bad habit of over-eating with the help of proper doctors. You also take help from doctors of your choice," he said.
Stating that post of a minister or being an MP or MLA was temporary but being a party worker was a permanent thing in life, Gadkari said: "I don't use government vehicle since I met with an accident in a government car and that is the reason now I opt for my own car with adequate security measures. This government car or post are not permanent."
Adding that neither the personal assistants (PAs) are permanent, Gadkari said: "These PAs are like Chahapksha Kitli Garam, (Kettle hotter than tea)."
Since the recent allegation against Eknah Khadse were in the mind of party workers about one of the PAs being involved in alleged bribe case, generated huge applause from the audience.
BJP state unit president Raosaheb Danve said that party workers don't read even party magazines but give priority to Saamna and other papers who criticize the party every day. "During the two-day executive meeting many books on similar topics were released by him and the chief minister but the party worker who is instrumental in bringing about the book generally does not have any idea of what are the contents of the book," said Danve.
Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis suggested that the district unit presidents should not be found in Mumbai for five days in a week but they should work more in their own district. He expressed the need to strengthen the booth-level structure in view of the ensuing local body elections.
