Nitin Gadkari, the minister of transport and highways for the union, stated on Saturday that there are many things that need to be done for society and he occasionally considers leaving politics. At a gathering in Nagpur, the former head of the BJP claimed that politics today is more about maintaining power than it is about fostering growth and social transformation.
“We have to understand what politics means. Is it for the welfare of society, the country, or just about being in government?” he said.
He further added, “Politics has been a part of the social movement right from Mahatma Gandhi’s era, but then it focused on the nation and development goals.” “Today, what we are seeing (in politics) is 100% about coming to power. Politics is a true instrument of socio-economic reform and that’s why today’s politicians must work for the development of education, arts, etc. in society.”
