Nitin Gadkari.

The Union road transport minister, Nitin Gadkari, said politicians should refrain from interfering in other fields, like literature.

While giving his valedictory address at the 92nd Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan at Yavatmal, on Sunday, he said that Politicians have their limitations and they should not interfere in other fields, like education and literature, and let those managing these fields do their work.

He said, “Politics has its own limitations and we should learn that politicians should not interfere in other fields like education and literature. Let those managing these fields do their work.”

He added and explained that non-interfering does not mean not to have a relationship with them. He gave the examples of writers like Durga Bhagwat and PL Deshpande whose rallies attracted more people during the time of Emergency, but they returned to their fields after the Janata Party came to power. They never tried to gain any political position or power, in the same way Politicians should also respect their own limit.
