After the ceremony in Siliguri, he was supposed to go to Dalkhola. According to reports, the event may be cancelled. He can return to Delhi from Siliguri.
“Sudden drop in his blood sugar parameter led to the Union Minister’s illness. Doctors treated him,’’ said a BJP leader.
Gadkari’s Siliguri visit is said to be a part of the BJP’s plan to project that the party is keen on executing major infrastructure projects in North Bengal, where the saffron camp made deep inroads in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. He was scheduled to attend a number of events on Thursday.
