Addressing the gathering, Gadkari said four things – water, power, transport and communication – are required to carry out development work.

“I will initiate work on every project being asked by the Haryana government. I know where money comes from and no one can say that I have not delivered what I promised,” he added.

He announced to connect Delhi-Dehradhun national highway to Jind-Gohana, Sonepat and Shamli.

“We will build a bus port in Sonepat after the Haryana government sends a project. Our government wants to start air taxis from Delhi to Panipat which costs ₹250 per person. In the next two years, we will construct many highways parallel to NH-44 to reduce the vehicular load,” Gadkari added.
