After finishing his speech, Mr. Gadkari shared on X (formerly Twitter), “I felt uncomfortable due to the heat at the Pusad rally in Maharashtra. But now I’m feeling fine and heading to Varud for the next meeting. Thank you for your support and wishes.”

पुसद, महाराष्ट्र में रैली के दौरान गर्मी की वजह से असहज महसूस किया। लेकिन अब पूरी तरह से स्वस्थ हूँ और अगली सभा में सम्मिलित होने के लिए वरूड के लिए निकल रहा हूँ। आपके स्नेह और शुभकामनाओं के लिए धन्यवाद।
