Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, often referred to as the ‘Development Man’ of the Modi government, celebrated his 67th birthday in his hometown, Nagpur, Maharashtra. Known for his significant contributions to the development of infrastructure across India, Gadkari spent his special day meeting people and party workers.
Gadkari, who has been instrumental in transforming the condition of roads in the country, was greeted by affluent party workers and supporters. The celebration took place around the corner after the Lok Sabha elections results. In a unique gesture, party workers gifted him ‘boondi laddus’ weighing equivalent to his body weight.
Born on May 27, Gadkari has had a long and illustrious political career. From his student life, he has been associated with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and later joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He has held several key positions within the party and the government, including serving as the youngest-ever BJP National President from 2009 to 2013.
As the Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Gadkari has been lauded for his efforts in improving the country’s infrastructure. His tenure has seen a rapid increase in the construction of highways, expressways, and flyovers. His work ethic and dedication have earned him the title of ‘Development Man’ of the Modi government.
Gadkari’s birthday celebration in Nagpur was not just a personal event but also a testament to his popularity and the respect he commands among his party workers and the public. The event also highlighted the BJP’s strong presence in Maharashtra, particularly in Nagpur, which is often referred to as the ‘RSS heartland’.
As Nitin Gadkari turns 67, his journey from a student activist to a key figure in Indian politics serves as an inspiration for many. His commitment to development and good governance continues to drive his efforts, making him a pivotal figure in the Modi government. Here’s to many more years of dedicated service and relentless pursuit of development in India. Happy Birthday, Nitin Gadkari!
