Not in race for PM post; pure RSS man with conviction to work for nation: Gadkari

Union minister Nitin Gadkari Friday said he is not in the race for the post of Prime Minister and termed himself as a "pure RSS" man for whom the nation is supreme.

The senior BJP leader said that BJP would get absolute majority in the upcoming elections and the country would go ahead on the path of development under Prime Minister Narendra Modi while "we are standing behind him."
He said he spoke whatever he felt from within and added "Neither I dream it, nor there is any liaisoning, nor any PR."
He said his mission is welfare of villagers, farmers and socio economic transformation and "Under Modiji's leadership and as per our ideology much work has been done and will be done in future also."
Asked whether he believed in "Congress mukta Bharat", he said the ideologies of both the parties are different and "we are not enemies of each other. Difference of opinion can be there... It is our tradition. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Jawaharlal Nehru and even Modiji welcomes the opposition party."
