Cong confusing people, India will get world-class roads: Gadkari

Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Monday termed this year’s Budget as revolutionary and historic. Gadkari said it is a step towards becoming a five trillion dollar economy and infrastructure development worth Rs 111 lakh crore.

“It will help realise Prime Minister Modi’s dream of Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-dependent India). The Budget will take the country further on the development path. India will get world-class roads within the next five years,” said Gadkari, one of the senior-most ministers in the Modi government.

In an exclusive interview to IANS at his residence, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari rejected the Opposition’s allegation of the Budget being a populist document released with the elections in mind.
