Gadkari said that 60 percent of the people of India live in villages and the rest of the people migrated to cities because there was unemployment, hunger and lack of basic facilities in the villages.

Gadkari said that after the Chhedmor tunnel, the Modi government has constructed 8 tunnels from Srinagar to Jammu.
Gadkari said that Delhi to Katra will be connected to Katra Expressway and one can reach Delhi in 6 hours via Amritsar.
Gadkari said that I am not a leader who shows off, I do what I say and I fulfill all the announcements I make.
