Gadkari made his statement in an episode of a Marathi reality show ‘Assal Pavhane, Irsal Namune’ that was aired on Colours in two parts on 4 and 5 October.

“We didn’t expect to come to power. So we were advised to make tall promises...Now that we are in power, people remind us of the promises we made. But nowadays, we just laugh and move on.”

The first part of the episode, titled “When politics meets cinema”, was aired on 4 October, the second part, “Comic banter between Nana and Nitin”, was available to viewers on 5 October.

Gadkari’s statement was also shared by the Congress on Twitter, with the message that the Union minister had just proved that the Modi government “was built on jumlas and fake promises”.
