Former BJP president M Venkaiah Naidu was also present at the meeting. Interacting
with the media after his meeting, Gadkari said: "Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Advani
have been a source of inspiration for me. I had met Vajpayee yesterday.” He could
not meet Advani yesterday as the latter had gone to Vrindavan after the party's
Parliamentary Board meeting. "I am new to Delhi and national politics. But after
getting the blessings of senior leaders, I am confident of performing the duties
and responsibilities entrusted to me. After meeting Advani, my confidence has
increased," he added. On Saturday evening, Gadkari held a meeting with Sushma
Swaraj, Rajnath Singh and Naidu. Gadkari, who is the youngest president of the
BJP said he did not view politics as a career but as an instrument of socio-economic
reforms to bring about a change in the lives of the poor and downtrodden.
