Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday warned the BJP against repeating the same errors that led to the Congress losing power. Emphasizing the BJP's distinct identity, Gadkari referenced party veteran LK Advani's remark that the "BJP is a party with a difference."

Speaking at a high-level party meeting in Goa, Gadkari said, "If we continue doing what the Congress used to do, then there is no use of their exit and our entry."

His comments came shortly after the BJP failed to secure a majority in the recent Lok Sabha elections.

At the Goa BJP executive meeting, attended by the party's state unit president Sadanand Tanavade and Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, Gadkari underscored Advani's statement, saying, "Advani Ji used to say that we are a party with a difference. We have to understand how different we are from other parties.”

Gadkari pointed out that voters chose the BJP because of the Congress' mistakes, adding, "If we commit the same mistakes, then there is no use in their exit and our entry. That is why, in the days to come, party cadres should know that politics is an instrument of bringing social and economic reforms," as reported by PTI.

He also emphasized the need for a strategic plan to create a “corruption-free country.”

Additionally, Gadkari spoke out against caste-based politics, particularly in neighboring Maharashtra. "I have decided not to follow this trend. I have told people that I will not indulge in caste-based politics (jaat-paat). Jo karega jaat ki baat, usko padegi kaske laath (those who will speak about caste will get a strong kick)," he asserted.
