Nitin Gadkari takes a dig at Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on results of Goa election

New Delhi, Apr 7 (IBNS): Union Minister for Transport Nitin Gadkari took a dig at Congress leader Digvijaya Singh by saying that the latter was sleeping while the poll process was taking place that resulted in a defeat of his party, in Lok Sabha on Friday, media reports.

During an ongoing debate about the motor vehicles law made by the minister, another Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge in a sarcastic tone said that "Nitin Gadkari is performing so well. But there is no one. There is no support for him," referring to the absence of BJP MPs in LS, following which another MP Venugopal mentioned the role of Gadkari like a villain in Goa.

Taking a jibe at senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, Gadkari said: " Why are you blaming me? Your hero (Digvijaya Singh)  had slept through the night. Your film would have run if your hero had not slept through the night."

Congress alleged Bharatiya Janata Party earlier for forming government in states like Goa and Manipur with money power though INC emerged as the single largest party.

Earlier after taking the oath as CM, Manohar Parrikar said that miserable results were inevitable in Goa as Singh went there for holidaying.
