Whatever work I have, the credit for it goes to the party workers and the public. I have never forgotten Nagpur and I will never forget it even.”

He further said that whatever work he could achieve as Road Transport and Highways Minister, the credit went to the voters who elected him to power.

Gadkari further asserted that the BJP workers have a right over his political legacy.
