                      Agenda Aaj Tak 2012: When will the lotus bloom?

                      I am not a businessman, I am a social entrepreneur, said Nitin Gadkari at Agenda Aaj Tak 2012. Well, innocent until proven guilty is the law!

                      BJP president Nitin Gadkari was the first guest on Day 2 of Agenda Aaj Tak 2012. The session was aptly titled - Kab Khilega Kamal/When will the Lotus bloom? Dismissing all corruption charges against him as media eyewash, Gadkari insisted that he will not quit BJP.

                      Much like all the other politicians who ducked questions on the prime ministerial candidates for 2014 during Thursday's Day 1 sessions at the Agenda Aaj Tak 2012, BJP president Nitin Gadkari told session moderator Rahul Kanwal (left) that the party would decide on their PM candidate after winning the elections.

                      BJP president Nitin Gadkari may be facing stiff opposition and dissent within his party but that did not stop him from demanding a fair inquiry into all charges leveled against him.

                      Not only did Gadkari absolve himself from all wrongdoing, he turned the spotlight on the media in general, alleging the press is biased and plays to the galleries.

                      Gadkari also refuted popular belief that the RSS runs the show in the saffron party. "BJP is very transparent and I can say with confidence that Sangh does not run the show," he said.

                      Trying to project himself as a humanitarian, Gadkari claimed that he was an innocent "social entrepreneur" and helped so many causes!!
