Gadkari, also a BJP candidate from Nagpur where the polling was held on Friday, was speaking at a rally organised for Rajashree Patil, who is from Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's faction of the Shiv Sena and is the ruling Mahayuti alliance's pick for Yavatmal.

After a brief unconciousness, Gadkari completed his speech.
