Assembly election to decide fate of Himachal people: Nitin Gadkari

Hindustan Times  

Raising poll pitch in Himachal Pradesh, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said that November 12 election was not for deciding the fate of a party or candidate but the future of the people of the hill state. Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari during an election rally in Himachal said for BJP politics is a tool for socio-economic reforms and change the society. Addressing election rallies at Matour in Kangra and Jhandutta in Bilaspur, Gadkari said when BJP came to power in 2014, the situation was such in Himachal that there were only 2-3 national highways. Maintaining that for BJP politics is a tool for socio-economic reforms and change the society, Gadkari said that in the Congress regime Himachal would not get even ₹70 Cr for a road but today under BJP rule 200-km Pathankot-Mandi four-lane road is coming up on which ₹7,000 were being spent.
