'Asking Since June...': Priyanka Gandhi, Nitin Gadkari Share 'Appointment' Banter In Lok Sabha

A rare and unscripted moment unfolded in Parliament when Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra openly told Union Minister Nitin Gadkari during Question Hour that she had been trying since June to secure an appointment with him over constituency projects. After raising a query on the Chandigarh–Shimla highway, she made a candid appeal for time, prompting Gadkari to bypass protocol and invite her to his office immediately after the session. The two met within the Parliament complex, discussing six road projects in Kerala, including those linked to Wayanad. Gadkari explained that some projects fall under the state government’s purview, while others would be examined by the Centre. The meeting also featured lighter moments and informal exchanges, highlighting an unusual instance of direct, real-time ministerial access.
