Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Gadkari, who is a diabetic, is off insulin after the weight reduction surgery last year.

"I am off insulin after the surgery and only taking pills," he said.
Gadkari went for a bariatric surgery in September last year under supervision of Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala.
The surgery reduces the size of the intestine.
