The Minister said: "In the past 8 years, I have done work worth Rs 50 lakh crore but there's not been a single charge of corruption against me. A contractor never had to meet me to get some work done."
The leader added that if India's roads get better, the country will do better. The minister also spoke about a slew of new road projects, including a green expressway, which would be over before 2024.
India is a "rich nation with a poor population because of politics but still, we are heading towards being a superpower ". The leader mentioned that our fast advancement is due to "PM Narendra Modi's change in policies in different sectors, be it agriculture, infrastructure, and Railways".
"India is now a global leader now, only because of Modi," added Union Minister Gadkari.
The union minister mentioned said that he believes that the people in the country definitely recognise the kind of work a government does. "This is why, I think the Narendra Modi government is appreciated the most," added the minister.
"I am not an engineer, but since the time I got Mumbai Pune expressway, I have learnt a lot. And if I can use that experience to get things moving, this is what matters," said the BJP leader.
