New Delhi : Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday spoke about how he utilized his time during the coronavirus lockdown and revealed how much money he is making on YouTube via online lectures.

Speaking at an event in Haryana, he said, "In Covid-19 time, I did two things - I started cooking at home and giving lectures through video conference."

"I delivered many lectures online, which were uploaded on YouTube. Owing to huge viewership, YouTube now pays me Rs 4 lakh per month," he added.
