Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has revealed that he was once advised to join the Congress, but that he replied he would "rather jump into a well". Addressing a gathering of entrepreneurs in Maharashtra's Nagpur on Saturday, Nitin Gadkari also said a person is finished not when he is defeated in battle, but when he quits. Human relationships, Mr Gadkari said, are the biggest strength for anybody in business, social work or politics.
