NHAI is in profit, wrong to say that it is debt-ridden : Gadkari

New Delhi, May 9(UNI) Terming as 'baseless' opposition charge that the NDA Government mired the National Highway Development Authority in debt, Minister for Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said that lot more structural development has happened during five years of NDA rule compared to that during the 50 years of the Congress governmemnts at the Centre.
In an interview to UNI at his residence, the Union Minister said the NDA government has been following the same methodology and criteria for the construction of highways as was followed by the UPA. However, while during UPA regime only two km of roads were being constructed each day, in comparison 32 km roads per day were constructed in NDA's regime.
Challenging those who find out faults in the road measuring technique, Mr Gadkari said there has neither any tempering with the machines used in road measuring technique , nor has there been any change in its process.
There is no row at position 0.
