“I can’t work as much anymore… the new generation should be given a chance” – Nitin Gadkari’s significant statement in Nagpur; hints at retirement?
Nagpur: Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari made a significant statement today at the valedictory function of a training workshop for teachers and supervisors of 'Ekal Ekal Vidyalaya' (One-Teacher Schools) held at Paradsinga in Katol Taluka. He said, “I cannot work as much anymore. I did what I could when I was able to. Now, my active participation in work has reduced. The new generation must be given an opportunity.”
This statement has sparked discussions in political circles regarding his retirement. Gadkari clearly expressed the view that the older generation should not cling to positions but instead allow the new generation to come forward, while they themselves assume the role of mentors.
Emphasizing the importance of health, he said, “If your health isn't good, power is of no use. If you are sitting here and suffer a heart attack within a minute, what will go with you? Cars, bungalows, wife, children—none of them will come along.”
Mentioning the major lifestyle changes he adopted after the COVID-19 pandemic, Gadkari said, “Earlier, while working for the party, I used to eat a samosa and go to sleep. Now, I exercise and practice *Pranayama* for two and a half hours every morning. I have a trainer.”
He advised the youth to focus on self-development, prioritize their health, and embrace social responsibility. While addressing tribal students, he praised the organization's work and urged them to bring the light of progress to every tribal village in the state.
Although Gadkari has not explicitly announced his retirement, remarks such as “the new generation should be given a chance” and “I cannot work as much anymore” have fueled speculation about his political future.
