Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday reaffirmed his long-standing stance against caste-based politics, declaring, “Jo karega jaat ki baat, usko marunga laat” (Whoever talks about caste, I will kick them). Speaking at a convocation ceremony in Nagpur, Gadkari emphasized that he has always distanced himself from caste and religious politics, even at the cost of losing elections or ministerial positions.

“I have held this belief since the beginning,” he stated. “I have never indulged in caste-based politics and have continued this approach throughout my career.” He recounted an incident from his tenure as a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) to highlight his commitment to inclusive development.

Education as a Tool for Empowerment

Gadkari cited his decision to approve the establishment of Anjuman-e-Islam Engineering College in Nagpur during his tenure as an MLC. He emphasized the need for quality education for the Muslim community, stating, “If more engineers, IPS, and IAS officers emerge from the Muslim community, it will contribute to the overall development of the nation.”

Referring to former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam as an example, he underlined how education can transform lives and uplift communities. “Thousands of students have become engineers under the banner of Anjuman-e-Islam. If they hadn’t been given the opportunity to study, this progress would not have been possible. That is the power of education—it can change lives and societies.”

Focus on Development Over Division

Gadkari reiterated that his focus remains on infrastructure, progress, and governance rather than caste or religious affiliations. “I do not worry about who votes for me; I focus on my work. Politics should be about development and action, not about dividing people along caste or religious lines,” he said.

The minister’s remarks highlight his vision for an inclusive India where education and merit drive national growth, rather than caste or religion-based politics.
