‘Urine was a “free fertiliser” that could help people grow bigger plants’
Minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari said road projects will be sold to foreign pension and insurance funds to attract overseas investment
New Delhi: The saffron party has suggested cow urine — gomutra — as the panacea for all ills, but Union minister Nitin Gadkari went a step further recently saying human urine could help plants grow bigger.
In fact, Mr Gadkari said the secret behind his well-groomed garden at his New Delhi bungalow — in Delhi’s posh Lutyens’ Zone — was his own urine. Speaking at an event on irrigation in Nagpur, he said urine was a “free fertiliser” that could help people grow bigger plants.
Saying he was embarrassed to speak about it, Mr Gadkari said: “I collected urine in a 50-litre can. I called the gardener and told him to water some plants with it. There was a clear difference — it grew one-and-a- half times bigger.”
