"Corruption and black money is a nationwide issue. The BJP raised this issue for the first time in the country.The Government which can't take action on corruption and black money and take action against peaceful protestors doesn't have any moral right to stay in power," Gadkari added.
He also said that the BJP has asked for permission to carry out the 24-hour Satyagraha, but even if they don't get permission, they will go ahead. "We will go ahead with our Satyagraha, let the government do whatever it can," Gadkari said.
