Amid reports of cow urine's potential to cure human ailments, Union Minister for Road Transport and National Highways, Nitin Gadkari has found the potential of his urine as a "cheap manure" to grow "bigger" plants and flowers in his garden. Addressing a gathering in Nagpur on Sunday, Gadkari said he urinates in a plastic can daily and then collects the same in a larger 50 litre can which then is used to water his plants in his Delhi bungalow. Reportedly, he recommended the practice to the gathering and advised them to keep handy a 50 litre can. "If you water an orange tree with this, you will observe its growth rate," he said. "You will observe the increase in number of fruits and flowers on the plant, which proves how good manure it (urine) is," Gadkari, in his Marathi speech, said. As bizarre as it seems, this is not for the first time a public figure has expressed their strange obsession with urine and its so-called uses.

Apparently, she was disturbed with people having problem with her urine-drinking habit. "Why does humanity have a problem with me drinking my own urine? I can't wait to get off this planet!" she told the interviewer.
