‘I demolished her father’s home, didn’t give another house’

Soon Dilip again requested Gadkari to make a “small road” in his village. Farah, who was visibly irritated by the constant requests, told the minister to build a road straight through Dilip’s house. Kanchan interjected and said, “Then he won’t have his house anymore. Just like my father lost his home.” A shocked Farah looked at Gadkari, who smiled and said, “I demolished her father’s home because we had to extend a road.” When asked whether he built him a new home, Gadkari said, “No new home. I just gave him the compensation.”

‘I feed peacocks that land on my home from Sonia Gandhi’s residence’

He also revealed that Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh have been his neighbours. “Sonia Gandhi lives here. Manmohan Singh used to live here. We used to come to her house. I fed her peacocks”.

‘Train my personal chef or else…’

He shared another similar story and said, “Recently I went to Kolkata, and I really loved the Chinese food one restaurant was serving. I asked them to train my personal chef so that he could cook the same at my house. They declined the request and said it’s against their policy. I asked them, ‘Do you know who your restaurant belongs to?’ They said ‘no’. I told them it belongs to me because it exists on land owned by Kolkata Port Trust, and I am the shipping minister. If you don’t teach him, I will cancel your lease.”

Farah laughed at the story and said, “You used your power at the correct time.”
