NEW DELHI: Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Sunday said that in politics speaking the truth is difficult in his field of work.
"The one who fools people the most can become the best leader” and added that in the area where he is working, "speaking the truth from the heart is forbidden".
He made the remarks while addressing a programme organised by the Akhil Bhartiya Mahanubhav Parishad .
At the Bhavya Mahanubhav Panthiya Sammelan, Gadkari said the teachings of Mahanubhav sect founder Chakradhar Swami are an inspiration for all to follow. "Chakradhar Swami taught values of truth (satya), non violence (ahimsa), peace (shanti), humanity (manavta) and equality (samanta). Satya is the basis of our life and we should follow it," he said.
He added that positive change in a person comes from the values taught to him or her. "The teachings of Mahanubhav sect founder Chakradhar Swami are an inspiration for all to follow in their lives. Change in a person (vyakti parivartan) is related to the sanskars (values) taught to him," he said.
Gadkari further said, "One must spread positivity and not hurt anyone." He also said that values such as honesty, credibility and dedication are very important in society.
