Union Minister Nitin Gadkari is one of the most prominent personalities in political arena. Recently Gadkari has dropped a bomb in the political corridors. Gadkari revealed in a program on Saturday that during the Lok Sabha elections, a senior leader from opposition party had offered him the post of Prime Minister. But Gadkari had refused him outright.

Addressing a program in Nagpur, Gadkari said that I said that leader that I am a person who follows ideology and commitment. He said that I am in a party which has given me everything, which I could not even dream of, no offer can entice me.

Gadkari said that I do not want to take anyone's name, but a person had told me that if you want to become the Prime Minister, we will support you. I said, why will you support us and why should I take your support. The goal of my life is not to become the Prime Minister. I am honest to my ideology and organization and I will not compromise it for any post, because my commitment is very important to me. Gadkari said that this commitment is the biggest strength of Indian democracy.
