Nitin Gadkari puts Modi govt in embarrassing situation| 2019 Kaun Jeetega

Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari has put the Modi government in an embarrassing situation after he appears to have defended fugitive business tycoon Vijay Mallya, who is wanted in India for a number of cases including loan default.

Speaking at the Times Network India Economic Conclave in Mumbai on Thursday, Gadkari suggested that it was unfair to call Mallya a fraud because he defaulted on loan payments once.
