Nitin Jairam Gadkari, the outgoing Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Shipping and Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, has won the Lok Sabha seat from Nagpur for the second time around.
Gadkari, who was BJP’s President earlier, is known for his project management skills and was the driving force behind many infrastructural projects like metro rail across cities.
Leveraging his experience as Maharasthra’s PWD Minister, Gadkari oversaw the Road Transport and Highways Ministry, and built thousands of kilometres of highways. In fact, the pace of road-building touched a high of 22 kilometre a day in 2018-19.
