  • ‘Files With Weight On Them Move Faster’: Nitin Gadkari Exposes Corruption In Government System |

    Union Minister Nitin Gadkari is known for his outspoken attitude. He never holds his horses back when it comes to exposing laxity within the government system. Addressing a gathering on the occasion of ‘Engineer’s Day’ in Pune, Gadkari exposed the prevalent corruption within the bureaucracy while saying that files move faster if there is weight on them. Gadkari was talking about bribes given by people to get files approved. 

    The Union Minister said that the speed of movement of files is directly proportional to the weight (money) on them. Gadkari was talking about issues related to the need for transparency and time-bound decision-making in the government system.

    Addressing the gathering in which the majority of the government employees were in attendance,  Gadkari said that bureaucrats work faster in cases where they get money. “There are some ‘Newton’s fathers’ in our system and files move faster only if you put more weight on it,” said Gadkari.

    Using highway projects and road accidents as an example, Gadkari noted that the primary cause of these issues stems from flawed detailed project reports (DPRs), rather than any other factor. Additionally, he pointed out that some bureaucrats require directives for even basic tasks, such as filling potholes on roads.

    The Union Minister announced that his ministry has planned a 14-lane highway connecting Mumbai and Bengaluru, starting from the Atal Setu Bridge and linking with Pune’s ring road. He explained that this will allow travelers from Mumbai to Bengaluru to bypass Pune, helping to reduce traffic in the city. Additionally, the route will provide direct access to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. “A tender has already been floated, and we aim to begin construction within the next six months,” he added.

  • “A day will come when there will be no petrol-diesel pumps”: Nitin Gadkari at NDTV-Dettol “Banega Swasth India” program

    New Delhi:

    Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari congratulated NDTV for the “Banega Swasth India” campaign. Gadkari has been associated with this program every time for the last few years. When the Union Minister was asked, how important is it to think about things like health, understand them and because you are in the government, make it the center point and work? On this he said that there are three important pillars of our society – Ethics, Economy and Ecological Environment. And due to air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution, our health is adversely affected. The government is bringing such a policy, which will help in reducing pollution.

    Referring to the ill effects of pollution, Nitin Gadkari said that when a study was done on pollution in cities like Delhi, it was found that due to this our life is being reduced by 10 years. Therefore, I suggest that the Swastha Bharat Abhiyan started by Mahatma Gandhi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also took this campaign forward seriously, then we should create value in the waste. This time for 2nd October, we have resolved that we are launching a policy for the entire country to use the solid waste in road construction.

    Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, while sharing the Green Vision during NDTV-Dettol Banega Swasth India Season 10, said, “We are making every possible effort to reduce pollution. A day will come when there will be no petrol and diesel pumps. Instead, we will have ethanol pumps and charging stations for electric vehicles. LNG and CNG will be prepared from stubble. The Center has a project to generate ethanol from carbon dioxide. We will gradually reduce the waste and pollution generated. We can build a healthy nation by using technology to create value from the working elements.”

    Nitin Gadkari said that no material is useless and no person is useless. It depends on proper technology and leadership vision that you can convert waste into wealth.
