Union Minister Nitin Gadkari sent a legal notice to Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Jairam Ramesh for sharing a short clip from an interview he gave to a media outlet, accusing them of deceiving the public and trying to create a rift in the party. In the clip, Gadkari can be seen talking about the poor farmers, and villagers who are unhappy because of lack of infrastructure and water in the villages but cuts of the earlier part where he spoke about rural-urban migration and the efforts put in by the NDA government to improve the lives of farmers. The notice described the video twisted and distorted, lacking any contextual meaning.
