Nitin Gadkari told why he could not become an Engineer
Reportedly Union minister nitin gadkari told that once balasaheb Thackeray offered him wine and when he refused to drink, Balasaheb's reply was very funny. nitin gadkari has mentioned this interesting incident in an interview given to 'Unfiltered by Samdhish'. nitin gadkari does not drink alcohol nor eats non-veg. nitin gadkari said, "I have never eaten non-veg since childhood. I had my mother's values. I do not drink alcohol but if someone sitting in front of me eats, I don't have a problem with it."
Why did atal bihari vajpayee or balasaheb Thackeray ever offer him alcohol? On this question, nitin gadkari said, "I went to Balasaheb's house at night. There was a person named Chaugule from Nashik. He had brought special wine. balasaheb poured it in a glass and gave it to me. I said I don't drink, so he asked why? I said I never drank, I will drink lemon juice. On this balasaheb laughed and told Chaugule that he is a chaddichaap, make wine from cow dung and cow urine, then he will drink it. balasaheb also loved him a lot.''
Moreover during the conversation, nitin gadkari also talked about his student life. He said, ''Sangh and Vidhyarthi Parishad gave shape to a useless raw material like me. I was already a mediocre student. I don't have much talent. people say that you are a great management expert. Some say that you are an engineer. I was disqualified in the engineering exam.'' The Union minister said, ''When the emergency was imposed in 1975, JP's leadership ran with the flag. At that time, I got 52% marks in 11th. My elder sister wanted me to become an engineer. My son-in-law was an engineer. I got 49.26% marks in science group. I could get admission in a college only if I scored above 50%. Today, I have got 9 DEs. My ministry has seven world records. Even then, I don't use the word doctor before my name.'' Laughing further, nitin gadkari said, 'What should I use when I got disqualified in the exam?'
