UNION MINISTER NITIN GADKARI FAINTS DURING ELECTION RALLY IN MAHARASHTRA'S YAVATMAL

NEW DELHI: Union minister Nitin Gadkari fainted during an election rally in Maharashtra's Yavatmal today.

The BJP leader was campaigning at Pusad which comes under the Yavatmal-Washim Lok Sabha constituency. As he suffered a fainting fit, the security personnel accompanying him carried him off-stage. The minister, however, recovered after a few minutes and completed his speech.

Gadkari later shared on X (formerly Twitter) that he was fine and was leaving for Warud, Maharashtra to address another rally.

"Felt uneasy due to heat at a rally at Pusad, Maharashtra. But now I am completely alright and on my way to Warud to take part in the next rally," the 66-year-old leader said in a post on X.
