According to Marathi daily Loksatta’s report, Gadkari was attending a graduation ceremony in Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth in Rahuri. Before the start of the national anthem, he suffered from dizziness. Maharashtra Governor C Vidyasagar Rao, who was standing beside the minister promptly offered him support. Later, doctors were called to check in on him.
Following the incident, Gadkari took to Twitter saying he had a ‘medical condition due to low sugar’.
Had slight medical condition due to low sugar. I have been attended by doctors and i am doing well now. I thank all of you for all the well wishes.
