I ran the following command in order to reinstall my broken apt-get system:-
sudo rm -vf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list && sudo rm -vf /etc/apt/sources.list
I was following the steps from this answer(Always getting error during apt-get install) but gksu package is not installed.
What are the next steps to follow now?

I have no idea what made you do that; but may I suggest not running a update command. Why did you consider yourapt-getsystem broken? (possibly you were supposed to remove /var/lib/apt/lists/....)

@guiverc I was getting similar errors (as asked in this askubuntu.com/questions/652603/…) on every installation. But since apt-get was not working properly, gksu and leafpad packages are not completely installed. Is there anything I can do now?

given you were following that answer, I'd continue with those steps. leadpad is only an editor, if it were me I'd typesudo vim ...(ie. used the vim editor; by default only vi is installed so if you've not used vim, substitute vi/nano/.. or whatever editor you like in place of leafpad). Please put info such as following (answer..) in your question.. [why sudo and not gksudo - mostly its what my fingers type :) ] ps: if you don't know vi/vim - trynanoin place of leafpad (or gedit [if installed])

As @guiverc said, follow the answer you are following.
You can use sudo instead of gksudo and any text editor(vim/gedit/sublime) instead of leafpad to paste that code.
Just remember that due to use of #, askubuntu has converted a comment to bold line.
Just insert # in front of every bold line (otherwise that the list cannot be read will keep coming) and don't copy that last line =============. You are good to go.
