Amid the current political stalemate in Maharashtra, Union Minister and BJP leader Nitin Gadkari has likened politics with cricket, saying “anything” could happen in both these fields as those who appear to be losing the match might actually win the game.
Gadkari’s statement came at a time when the BJP’s estranged ally Shiv Sena is making efforts to form the Government with the help of the Congress and the NCP, its political rivals till recently.
The three parties have already prepared a draft common minimum programme (CMP) that will guide their prospective Government.
“Anything can happen in cricket and politics. Somewhere you feel you are losing the match, but the result is exactly the opposite,” Gadkari said when asked
about the current political situation in Maharashtra.
He was speaking at the ‘Outlook Business Leading Edge 2019’ event in Mumbai on Thursday.
The Minister of Road Transport, however, declined to discuss in detail the political crisis in Maharashtra, saying he spends more time in Delhi and doesn’t know much about politics in his home State.
