According to Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport, Uttar Pradesh would have road infrastructure on par with that in the United States by the end of 2024. Earlier, Gadkari dedicated and set the cornerstone for seven National Highway projects in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh’s Chitbada hamlet, totaling Rs 6,500 crore. Speaking on the occasion, Gadkari said the condition of roads in UP was not good before 2014. “After the Narendra Modi government came to power, National Highway has increased from 7,643 km to 13,000 km in the state,” he said.“Before the end of 2024, UP will have road infrastructure like in America. The state is growing very fast and its picture will change with the development of roads. The villages and the poor will be happy and prosperous in the state. The youth will also get employment and UP will become the leading state in the country,” he said.
