Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari prefers to talk about the development of the country’s infrastructure more than politics, but also gives sharp answers to political questions. On the allegation of constitutional amendment on BJP, he said that the opposition is misleading the people…it itself has committed the sin of breaking the constitution by making changes 80 times.
PM Modi has given the slogan of crossing 400. Is this possible?
Absolutely possible. Looking at the wind, it seems that BJP will win 370 seats and NDA constituents will win more than 30 seats. We will definitely win in Karnataka. Also, NDA will get success in South India also. We will get a very good mandate. Narendra Modi will become Prime Minister for the third time.
The opposition is saying, BJP wants to change the Constitution?
The opposition is spreading false propaganda to mislead minorities and Dalits. But, they will not succeed in this. In the Kesavanand Bharti case, 7 judges of the Supreme Court have ruled that the basic structure of the Constitution cannot be changed. It is the Congress which is talking about changing the Constitution, which has committed the sin of breaking the Constitution by making changes 80 times.
How will the infrastructure be on 100 years of independence?
Changes in infrastructure will accelerate development. We are working in this direction and setting further targets. We are making ropeways, cable cars. Running public transport on electricity. There are efforts to introduce electric buses in more and more cities. Metro trains will be expanded in the coming days. We will also see the arrival of hyper-loop technology in India. We are building a greenway. We had said that by December 2024, the national highways of the country will be at par with America.
What will the Indian auto industry be like in the next five years?
The auto industry has just been brought down from seventh place to third place. Will be number one in five years, leaving behind China and America. We can say that in the next five years there will be revolutionary changes and the country will become stronger.
What will be the situation in Maharashtra? Who is real and who is fake between Shiv Sena and NCP?
Our 10 years of work will yield good results across the country including Maharashtra. Having a triple engine of Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), NCP (Ajit faction) along with BJP will increase the strength of NDA and lead to a landslide victory in Maharashtra. As far as Shiv Sena is concerned, most of its MLAs and workers are with Eknath Shinde, so naturally he is the real Shiv Sena. We are confident that this time NDA will win in Baramati also.
Opposition is saying that BJP is misusing central agencies?
Look, the agency does its work. We do not interfere in this. If a case is made, action is taken. If someone feels that he is being harassed, he can appeal to the High Court.
Is Nagpur changing? What will you say to the voters?
For the development of Nagpur, work on projects worth more than Rs 1 lakh crore has been done in the last 10 years. You will see that it will be one of the best cities in the world. I am requesting the voters to elect me with a margin of five lakh votes.
