Modi ministers in five years – Road Transport and Shipping minister Nitin Gadkari

Op India  

In the last articles, we saw how the ‘Big 4’ ministries have performed under the Narendra Modi government apart from the departments which directly report to the Prime Minister. In this article, we take a look at achievements of Nitin Gadkari – Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Shipping and Ganga Rejuvenation. As PWD minister of Maharashtra, he constructed first of its kind in India Greenfield Mumbai – Pune Expressway and 53 flyovers in Mumbai to ease the traffic in a record time of 4 years. Looking at his track record, Narendra Modi gave him charge of Road Transport Ministry, a supposedly low profile ministry for a former national president of the ruling party, on his own demand, and he has turned around road construction sector in India in last five years. Here are some notable achievements from the tenure of Nitin Gadkari as India’s Road Transport, Highways, Shipping and Ganga Rejuvenation minister.
