PUNE (MAHARASHTRA): Union Minister Nitin Gadkari Saturday said “leadership” should own up to “defeat and failures” also, days after his party lost polls in three Hindi heartland states.
In a cryptic remark, the BJP stalwart, who is known for speaking his mind, said that nobody is willing to own up to failure unlike success.
“Success has many fathers but failure is an orphan, as when there is success, there will be a race to take credit but in case of failure, everybody will start pointing fingers at each other,” the Road Transport and Highways Minister said.
He was speaking at an event organised by the Pune District Urban Cooperative Banks Association Limited (PDUCBAL) here.
“Some times, banks achieve success and sometime they will have to face failure… The banks have to face both the situations… In politics, when there is a failure, a committee is formed but in case of success, nobody comes and asks you,” he said. (AGENCIES)
