UNION MINISTER NITIN GADKARI FAINTS DURING ELECTION RALLY SPEECH IN MAHARASHTRA

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari fainted while addressing an election rally in Maharashtra's Yavatmal on Wednesday, April 24. However, the minister received prompt treatment and assured the public of his improved condition minutes later on social media platform X.

"I felt uncomfortable due to the heat during the rally in Pusad, Maharashtra. But now I am completely healthy and am leaving for Varud to attend the next meeting. Thank you for your love and good wishes," Gadkari wrote on X.

A video of the incident, streamed live on X (formerly Twitter), showed Nitin Gadkari being assisted off stage by those present. Many rushed to form a shield around him in an attempt to give some privacy to him and those treating him.

Gadkari was campaigning for Rajashree Patil, the BJP-Mahayuti candidate for the Yavatmal-Washim Lok Sabha constituency, who hails from the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde.
