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.
