Hundreds of supporters gathered at the Mumbai airport this morning to welcome BJP President Nitin Gadkari, who confronts grave corruption charges. "There are attempts being made to slander me, to destroy my reputation," he said. "We are not scared... eent ka jawab patthar se denge (we will retaliate blow for blow)." Mr Gadkari has cancelled a second round of campaigning in Himachal Pradesh which votes next month.
