Devendra Fadnavis and Nitin Gadkari, teammates at the Bharatiya Janata Party, are not open about their differences.

Devendra Fadnavis and Nitin Gadkari may struggle to squeeze into F1 cars. But they have much in common with Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. It is well-known that the Mercedes teammates don’t get along. After last weekend’s Chinese GP, Rosberg accused Hamilton of thinking only about himself and deliberately driving slowly to block his path. Fadnavis and Gadkari, teammates at the Bharatiya Janata Party, are not open about their differences. But rumours about a rift are strong. Their flashpoints too have to do with roads and pathways, specifically the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Sea Link. The cold war between the two, it is said, is stalling work on the project.
