Nitin Gadkari said in an election rally that during the previous ten years of the Narendra Modi administration, India has experienced fast growth and a road network has been established throughout Haryana. Speaking at a 'Vijay Sankalp' rally in Kosli, the Minister of Roads and Highways stated that Haryana will reach unprecedented levels of development if the BJP-led NDA continues to hold power at the federal level.

According to the report, Gadkari stated that two crucial elements for a country's development are a righteous and honest leader as well as sound policies, both of which are present in the BJP. Therefore, he urged people to strengthen the country by ensuring the BJP's victory and accelerating the country's development.

Gadkari also remarked that the progress witnessed in the past 10 years was merely a trailer, and the real movie was yet to be seen. He promised the creation of not only smart cities but also smart villages. Gadkari claimed that the BJP government had accomplished in 10 years what the Congress could not do in 60 years, and he highlighted the significant infrastructure work worth over Rs 2 lakh crore done by his ministry in Haryana alone.

Additionally, Rao Inderjit Singh, the sitting MP from Gurugram, stated that the BJP government was ensuring equitable development across all areas while continuously working for the benefit of the youth, women, farmers, and the underprivileged. Singh, who had been a Union minister in the BJP government for 10 years, praised Gadkari as a minister who delivers on his promises. He noted that the BJP government had laid an extensive network of roads in Haryana and the country, making travel more convenient for the people.
