Same for the 14 lane expressway (now part of Meerut Expressway) from Delhi to Dasna. It was a 2 lane road arlt some points and 4 lane at others and unauthorised colonies all around it. The road was proposed by Atal Bihari govt during the end of its tenure. It remained on paper for the next 10 years of UPA before being revived by Mr Gadkari and now it's such a relief to use that road.

How about you give up your farms and plant trees in place, because agriculture is literally the leading cause of deforestation throughout history. The reason Haryana and Punjab have around 3-4% forest area. Building Infra solves the problem by making sure cities become viable and livable. So, that housing can be solved vertically, instead of taking up more space spatially.

He was charismatic. Modi is good in it's own way and that's what India reads right now but Nehru did a lot of right things in his time. Nehru's unchallenged mandate allowed him to lay the foundations of Nation Building. Without that, India wouldn't have survived the separatism and insurgencies it faced in 1960s. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh, much smaller nations than India and way less diverse fell for military dictatorships. Pakistanis are still confused with their identities. Those are basic problems. Without solving those we couldn't have thought of building infra. Same goes for Indira. Infact, Indira was very similar to Modi in many ways.

These guys usually aren't very smart. "Pakistan GDP was far better compared to India during Nehru's tenure." - In 1960, India's GDP was 10 times that of Pakistan and GDP per capita was eactly the same. So I don't know what you are talking about. Pakistan's economy did better than India during Indira's time but that was primarily because US aid. Pakistan got similar aid as South Korea.

Giving credit to Congress - NCP governments just because they mooted an idea is the most comical thing to say. Thing is who walked the hard yards to manage and build the infra - it's the BJP and they should get credit. Let's not try to be equivocal here.

Sir, Id like to quote Mr Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, on his advice to the then PM of India Manmohan Singh Why don't you make Mumbai an autonomous and self governing city financially ? If that was done Mumbai could have been like Singapore. Cities need to grow but unfortunately politician who are city builders are punished during immediate elections only to be later glorified and remembered. CBN and KCR are case in point man there are many more.

One wonders the massive scale of infrastructure India can build by selling PSUs aggressively and using the sale proceeds for executing such projects. Privatization can transform India but sadly the political will is simply not there.

My ex boss once said that Indians are great at building new things but loose interest in maintaining them. The Mumbai Pune expressway is one such example. Started off with so much gusto and now an absolute nightmare to travel on due to heavy truck traffic. We should involve world class traffic engineers to plan the traffic situation in our cities. In Pune where I live the metro has had a luke warm response. No parking facilities, no landing area or footpaths planned for pedestrians, no last mile connectivity plan in place. They just don't think it through coz we are so jugadu in nature and planning doesn't come naturally to us.

Thanks to the Print for highlighting the entire story and not just brag about the bridge. The question is to be asked why NDA is winning everywhere? Especially the so called COW BELT? Or Hindi heartland?? Well looking at the construction and infrastructure projects by current government, be it Trans Harbor line, Mumbai Metro, Coastal road, Missing link on Mumbai Pune Highway, to Ram Mandir, to Kashi Corridor, To Mahakal Corridor, To Samruddhi Marg, Mumbai Delhi Highway, Bangalore to Mysore expressway, Delhi Dehradun, western and eastern freight corridor, Raipur Vijaywada Highway, Statue of unity, Shivaji Maharaj statue in Mumbai and thousands of such projects.... Do we have any doubt about the previous governments intentions?? Especially looking at the infrastructure projects nearing our borders like roads on the eastern front with China, India to thiland highway or on Western front the Jamnagar Amritsar Highway... It is very clear that UPA and earlier Congress government was rather working under contract with China or something else to be what we are today.... Thanks for having a bright and powerful NDA government and we are sure we will have them for a couple of more decades to reach a place we deserve...
