Sharad Pawar praises Nitin Gadkari

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday lauded union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari for using power effectively to carry out development. Gadkari is a great example of how a people's representative can work for the development of the country. Pawar said and added that he came to the event only because it was Nitin Gadkari's project and Gadkari wanted him to be present. The two leaders from rival parties shared the dais at a function at Ahmednagar in Maharashtra.

Very often nothing happens once the stone-laying ceremony takes place for a project, the NCP leader said, adding, "But when it comes to  Gadkari's projects, within a few days of the function one sees the work starting". "I remember that before Gadkari took over this responsibility of the ministry of road transport and highways, about 5,000 km of work had been done. But after he took over, the figure has crossed 12,000 km," the NCP chief said.
