The minister, however, recovered after a few minutes and completed his speech.
Later, the BJP leader gave an update of his health on social media. "Felt uneasy due to heat at a rally at Pusad, Maharashtra. But now I am completely alright and on my way to Warud to take part in the next rally," he said in a tweet.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wished him a speedy recovery.
"Pray for quick and complete recovery of senior Union Minister and BJP leader Nitin Gadkari. Electioneering in the scorching heat of this cruel summer is indeed unbearable. Today is 24 April, and, can you imagine, our 7-phase elections will continue till 1st," she wrote.
