In the latest health scare for Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister was on Thursday, 1 August, forced to sit down at a public event here after feeling dizzy, an aide of the minister said.
The aide said doctors have attributed the "spell of dizziness" to a strong dose of antibiotics the minister took on Wednesday for a throat infection.
Gadkari, 62, felt dizzy while the national anthem was being played at the event, held at the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar Solapur University here, the aide said.
Gadkari was the guest of honour at the function.
