NAGPUR: Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Sunday said he was not in favour of having cells in a political party on the basis of castes, religions or communities, and added that talent was more important than these factors.
He was referring to the cells formed within political parties to represent different castes or communities, like the minority community and Scheduled Caste (SC).
The Minister was addressing a rally for Sandip Joshi, BJP’s graduates’ constituency candidate from East Vidarbha.
“I have a clear opinion that a man is not great by his caste, but by his talent. In BJP also we have different cells…When I was the party president, I had experienced this,” he said. (AGENCIES)
