Nitin Gadkari Faints at Maharashtra Election Rally, Offers Health Update

During an election rally in Maharashtra’s Yavatmal district, Union Minister and BJP leader Nitin Gadkari experienced a health scare, fainting on stage. A circulating video depicted him dizzy and unconscious, prompting concerns. Attendees quickly assisted him offstage, with some BJP leaders urgently calling for medical attention.

Following the incident, Gadkari reassured the public about his condition, attributing his discomfort to the heat during the rally. “Now I am completely healthy and am leaving for Varud to attend the next meeting. Thank you for your love and good wishes,” he shared on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

Gadkari, contesting from Nagpur Lok Sabha seat, was campaigning for Shiv Sena leader Rajashree Patil in Yavatmal’s Pusad. Addressing the rally, he expressed confidence in the BJP-Maha alliance’s prospects, highlighting the region’s commitment to development.

He underscored the extension of central government schemes to rural areas, ensuring broader access to essential services.

Yavatmal, along with several other constituencies in Maharashtra, is set to vote in the second phase of the Lok Sabha election on April 26.
