\u201cI have worked for all irrespective of their caste, religion, language and party affiliation. A huge number of Congress workers and office-bearers phone me and tell me not to worry,\u201d claimed Gadkari.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have completed the works promised in the last manifesto. We should not give false assurances to public. We will do what we have assured. We will say what we have done,\u201d said the Union minister.<\/p>\n
