In the budget of 2023-24, Rs 2.70 lakh crore has been allocated to the Ministry of Road Transport. Gadkari said that in order to change the country's infrastructure, more attention needs to be paid to the backward areas. Our priority is infrastructure development.
The Union Highways Minister said that this budget will give impetus to the PM's resolution of a self-reliant India. Soon we will become the super economy of the world, our only competition is with ourselves. The development of the country is linked to the road, development happens only when the road is built. If the road is good then industry will come into the area, due to which people will get employment and unemployment of the people will go away.
