I'm completely alright, says Nitin Gadkari, cites heat for collapse at rally in Maharashtra

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday afternoon collapsed at a rally in Maharashtra's Pusad.

The BJP leader recovered shortly after, continuing his speech and then exiting the rally.

Gadkari was campaigning at Pusad which comes under the Yavatmal-Washim Lok Sabha constituency. When he collapsed, his security personnel carried him off-stage to recover.


"Felt uneasy due to heat at a rally at Pusad, Maharashtra. But now I am completely alright and on my way to Warud to take part in the next rally," the 66-year-old leader said in a post on X.
