'Nothing to do with politics': Nitin Gadkari clarifies amid retirement buzz over 'can't work much now' remark

Union minister Nitin Gadkari sparked speculation about his future political plans after remarking during a speech in Nagpur that he could no longer work as much and urged young people to take on more responsibility. However, his office has now clarified that his remarks were not political and were specifically related to the Laxmanrao Mankar Trust, an organization he established to run Ekal Vidyalayas in tribal areas.
