Haryana’s national highway infra will be better than the US by end of 2024: Gadkari at Gurgaon poll rally

Stating that the work he carried out in the last 10 years was just a trailer, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari Wednesday asked Gurgaon to vote for the BJP for improved road infrastructure.

The Haryana Assembly polls are on October 5. The BJP has fielded Mukesh Sharma from the Gurgaon Assembly seat.

At Bhim Nagar’s Ram Leela ground, Gadkari, along with Gurgaon MP Rao Inderjit Singh, extended support to Sharma.

Addressing a crowd of 2,000-2,500 people, Gadkari said the election will not decide the fate of BJP or Congress, but the future of Gurgaon. “It’s been 75 years since Independence. The Congress was in power for 65 years at the Centre and state. In my department, in the last 10 years in Haryana, we’ve done three times more work than what Congress did in 65 years,” he said.

Sharma, meanwhile, said he had appealed to Gadkari for an elevated road to deal with frequent traffic snarls in the city: “In 2009, when the Delhi-Jaipur highway was being made, the Congress awarded the tender to a contractor who abandoned the project… I will complete work on the highway by December and relieve you from this hardship.”
