Not a single pothole on Mumbai-Pune Expressway in 27 years: Nitin Gadkari
Nitin Gadkari said that 27 years ago, he built the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and claimed it has not developed any potholes to date.
Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari expressed frustration on Monday that he is often blamed for road issues, even when they are constructed by state governments. At the Festival of Thinkers lecture series in Pune, Gadkari highlighted that he built the Mumbai-Pune Expressway 27 years ago and claimed that it has remained pothole-free to this day.
However, he noted that such positive news rarely gets reported. He also criticized being targeted on social media for issues with a road project built by the Maharashtra government.
