Gadkari's 'take responsibility' tip, apparently for BJP leadership
New Delhi, Dec 25 (IBNS): Union minister and BJP leader Nitin Gadkari on Monday said if MLAs and MPs were not performing, the party president should take responsibility for the situation.
"If one looks closely, the success of the Home Ministry today is because of their trained and skilled IAS and IPS officers. Proper training is the most important part. I believe that overall, majority of the IPS, IAS officers are clean and does a good job but if I am the party president, and my MLAs are not doing well, my MPs don't perform then I am responsible. What have I done to groom them," Gadkari said speaking at an event, NDTV said.
This is seen as another in his series of recent comment seen as messages to the BJP leadership. Gadkari is a former president of the BJP.
The Union minister also said tolerance was an integral aspect of India's culture. This is significant in the wake of the controversy and reactions by BJP leaders over actor Naseeruddin Shah's comments against mob violence.
Gadkari had last week said everyone likes to take credit for successes but no one like to take responsibility for defeat.
This came after BJP's defeats in the recent Assembly elections.
