Gadkari assures 5 lakh crore worth of projects in UP by 2024

18 Jul 2023 CW Team

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari claimed that projects worth 5 lakh crore would be completed in Uttar Pradesh by 2024.

Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road Transport and Highways, stated this on Monday while presenting development projects worth more than Rs 33 billion in Lucknow. Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh were also present.

Along with this, he made a number of announcements for Lucknow citizens, including the construction of a new flyover near the Engineering College Chauraha.

Mr Gadkari stated that enormous investments in UP for the state's development had already been made under PM Modi's leadership. Mr Gadkari stated, "Those whom Yogi ji invited to invest promised to make a significant investment in UP."

He stated that while UP was previously sick, it is now improving under the leadership of CM Yogi.

"PM Modi has set a goal that India must develop into a self-reliant, happy, prosperous, and powerful nation with a five trillion dollar economy. Our infrastructure needs to meet international standards for this. Infrastructure development received top priority from PM Modi. I had the privilege of performing work worth ₹ 50 lakh crore in the department that I had the opportunity to see over the course of nine years," he said.

Mr Gadkari said that initially, people did not believe that it was possible. "Delhi to Dehradun is a nine-hour drive, but I insisted that we could complete the trip in two. Now it takes 1.5 hours from Delhi to Haridwar, 12 hours from Delhi to Mumbai, 2 hours from Delhi to Jaipur, and 2.25 hours from Delhi to Chandigarh. The trip from Chandigarh to Manali used to take nine hours; now that we have built a tunnel and are inaugurating it, it will take just three," he said as per a press release.

"This change is very helpful for the country's infrastructure. I want to assure you that by the end of 2024, projects worth about ₹ 5 lakh crore will be completed in Uttar Pradesh, while some new works will be started. I am pleased that UP's roads have improved significantly. When PM Modi assumed leadership of the nation in 2014 and CM Yogi assumed control of Uttar Pradesh in 2017, the picture changed," Mr Gadkari stated.

"The Union Minister asserted that Lucknow has been significant since the Ramayana era. This city is named after Lakshman, the brother of Lord Shri Ram. For the development of UP, Yogi provided a solid vision. I told him that I had been talking about ethanol since 2004. Not only will ethanol from the UP be used to power vehicles in the future, but also the world's aeroplanes. The Union Minister also praised CM Yogi for improving the law and order of the state," it read.
