Nitin Gadkari's 'dadagiri' jibe amid tariff tensions with US
UNion government minister Nitin Gadkari on sat said that countries indulging in “dadagiri” ( intimidation) in today's domain ar able to do so because they are economically strong and have technology, reported PTI.Gadkari made the remarks while delivering a lecture at Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) in Nagpur on Saturday during which he stressed the need to increase India's exports and reduce imports. "If the rate of our exports and economy increase, then I don't think we will need to go to anyone. Those who are indulging in `dadagiri' are doing so because they are economically strong, and they have technology. If we get better technology and resources, we will not bully anyone, because our culture teaches us that welfare of the world is most important," he said, according to PTI.
