taken over by Gadkari under the aegis of the workers' union
for a token rupee. He invested sizeable amount in the
venture, including getting a new boiler for the plant. The
business could not run profitably and shut down a couple of
years after Gadkari took over in 2000.

years and was shut down after that due to losses. Another
