"The only minister who works in the current government is Nitin Gadkari, and I admit it on record," she said.


Unlike others, Gadkari does not think of party affiliations while doing his job, the Baramati MP added.


In a tweet on Tuesday, she also tagged Nitin Gadkari, who is a Lok Sabha MP from Nagpur, and requested him to direct concerned authorities to repair a section of road on a national highway in Maharashtra's Parbhani district.



Several Opposition leaders in the past have also praised Gadkari for the work he is doing as the Minister for Road Transport and Highways.



BJP leaders lie so blatantly that they should be given awards: Supriya Sule

Never expected this from Devendra Fadnavis: Supriya Sule on 2019 Maharashtra govt formation claim


Supriya Sule also expressed shock over Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' sensational claim related to the formation of a government in 2019 with NCP's Ajit Pawar and said she never expected something like this from the BJP leader. 


Fadnavis on Monday claimed NCP president Sharad Pawar had backed his plan to form the government with his nephew Ajit Pawar that eventually collapsed just after three days in November 2019. 


Sharad Pawar, however, denied Fadnavis' claim and said his assertion was based on "falsehood". 


"I always considered Fadnavis as a civilised and cultured person. I never thought he would behave like this," Sule said when asked about the deputy CM's claim. 


"Devendraji, this was not expected from you," the daughter of Sharad Pawar added.
