Opp hails Gadkari’s road work, flags issues also

Opposition leaders from across the political spectrum on Monday hailed the work of Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari but at the same time also flagged concerns on certain aspects like quality of roads, their maintenance and alleged transparency deficit in toll collection.

Participating in the discussion on the ‘demand for grants of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways’ for 2022-23 in Lok Sabha, most MPs, both from Opposition and treasury benches, began their address by lauding the work done by Gadkari in the road transport sector, especially his hands-on approach.

A number of Opposition MPs also flagged issues of concern and called for speeding up of ongoing projects.
