Using the slogan "Batenge to Katenge," Union Minister Nitin Gadkari participated in the discussion of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's strong appeal for Hindu unity on Friday. According to the Union Minister, the public should not misunderstand the phrase and should instead band together to fight adversaries and terrorists.

Speaking to ANI, Gadkari said "Our methods of worship might be different, while some go to temples, some go to mosques and churches, but in the end, we are all Indians. We should not interpret a different meaning of 'batenge to katenge' and rather stand united against terrorism and enemies of the country. All Indians should unite, this is not an attempt to divide them. People are sadly deriving different meanings from the slogan."
