First Manage Home, Then Manage Country: Gadkari to Party Workers

Speaking to party workers, Gadkari said first look after home & children, then work for party and country.

Party workers should fulfill their domestic responsibilities first because those who cannot do that "cannot manage the country", Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said.

Gadkari was speaking at a gathering of former workers of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), BJP's student wing, in Nagpur on Saturday, 2 February.

“I meet many people who say we want to devote our lives for the BJP, for the country. I asked (one such person) what do you do, and who all are there in your family. He said I have closed my shop as it was not doing well....there is wife at home, children,” Gadkari said.

“I said (to him) first take care of your home, because one who can not manage his home can not manage the country. Hence first manage your home and look after your children properly, then work for the party and country.”
