UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Thursday led the Congress in the Lok Sabha in appreciating Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari for the “wonderful” work he had been doing in improving the country’s infrastructure.
During the question hour, the House took up two questions related to Mr. Gadkari’s Ministry in which he gave detailed description of the works being undertaken. “I must say here that all MPs, cutting across political affiliations, have been appreciating me for the work by my ministry in their constituencies,” he said.
As Mr. Gadkari completed the answers, party member from Madhya Pradesh Ganesh Singh told Speaker Sumitra Mahajan that the House should appreciate the “wonderful” works being carried out by the Minister.
At this, Sonia Gandhi smiled and started thumping the desk as a sign of appreciation. Seeing this, Congress MPs, including party leader in the Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, too started thumping the desks appreciating Gadkari’s work.
