On Thursday, the AAP leader tweeted a truncated clip of Mr Gadkari narrating the incident. In the clip, Gadkari says: “If it’s possible for you to stand by me then do so, but if it’s fine even if you don’t…I don’t care even if I lose my post.”
“Why did Nitin Gadkari say this? Something is seriously wrong within BJP,” the tweet read.

Last week, the BJP dropped Nitin Gadkari and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan from its parliamentary board, the party’s highest organisational and decision-making body.
The parliamentary board of the BJP usually has the final word on important decisions like the selection of chief ministers and presidents of state units of the outfit.
