Union Minister Nitin Gadkari is famous for his opinion openly. Once again, he has set an example of this. The Union Road and Transport Minister said that there is a need to strengthen the rural economy in the country.

He said, 'The economy should be expanded in such a way that it includes the welfare of all the people of the society. Development should reach rural areas and employment opportunities should increase. He also said that the number of poor in the country is increasing while the money deposited with a few people is increasing.

After the arrival of the Modi government, the BJP has been claiming a decrease in the number of poor. In contrast, the senior minister himself has said that the number of poor in the country has increased rapidly. Only a few rich people are increasing money. He said that for the inclusive development of the country, it is necessary that resources should be divided. For this, he has emphasized the need to increase employment opportunities.

Nitin Gadkari praises former PM Manmohan Singh

The Modi government has been an attacker on former PM Manmohan Singh. Senior party leaders make a scathing attack on the previous Congress government. However, Gadkari praised two former Congress PM PV Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh for adopting liberal economic policies and implementing it in the country. He said that his policies showed the effect and the country has caught the speed of development.

However, he said that it is necessary to dismantle resources and money, like decentralization of power. He said, 'The service sector contributes up to 52-54 per cent to the country's economy. 65-70 percent of the population of rural population is dependent on agriculture, but their contribution to the economy is 12 percent. Talking about GDP growth, such regional imbalance should also be noted.

'Economy cannot be measured only by ITR and GST'

The Union Minister said that our economy is changing rapidly. We should consider every aspect of it. The speed of the economy should not be limited to collecting GST and income tax returns. He said that the field of road construction and operations has improved significantly. Right now the toll booths are earning 55,000 crores and a target is to increase it to 1.40 lakh crores in the next two years.
