If you want to be Vishwaguru, be secular like Shivrayan – Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that in a democracy, the highest officials should bear severe criticism. Gadkari said that no matter how much is said against the king, the king should bear it. The king should reflect on intense criticism, Gadkari said that enduring criticism is the biggest test of a king. Gadkari said that writers and intellectuals should also express their views seriously. Gadkari has also advised that if you want to become Vishwaguru, become secular like Shivrayan. Nitin Gadkari said, in our democracy, there is an expectation from writers, poets and intellectuals that they should present their thoughts rigorously. What is the biggest test of democracy is that no matter how much anyone raises a strong opinion against the king, the king should bear it and reflect on that opinion. Mother always told me as a child that the house of the cynic should be the house of the neighbor who is the one who guides us. I am going to tell you what is wrong and what is right. Maharashtra is the land of saints. Maharashtra is the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. We must take what is good from each person. The greatest thing in the history of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was that after many victories he never destroyed the temple or the worship of the pagans. Women who were against were honored and sent home. In a sense, he introduced the ideal king. I believe that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is the best example of interfaith harmony in the old history, said Nitin Gadkari. At present, there is a lot of caste politics going on in Maharashtra, I never follow caste. I said in front of 50,000 people, I will not follow casteism, I will not do politics of casteism. Who will kill someone who will kill him, kick him, give him vote, give him vote if he doesn’t. Don’t vote for me, I will do everyone’s work. Gadkari also said that I will work for those who will vote and those who will not vote.
