00:00Now I am telling you that after this, within three months,

00:04within 60 kilometers, there will be only one toll,

00:07if there is another one, then it will be stopped.

00:09I have decided,

00:11that we will prepare 1000 contractors in the country,

00:15who can only do the work of transplantation.

00:18We will not break the tree, we will transplant it.

00:23Honorable President,

00:25I have said many times that

00:27our roads are connected to our prosperity.

00:32And that is why, since I have been working in this field,

00:35John Kennedy,

00:37I always remember one of his words,

00:40and he had said that

00:41American roads are not good because America is rich,

00:45but America is rich because American roads are good.

00:49I want to assure this organization,

00:52that before 2024 ends,

00:55India's road infrastructure will be equal to that of America.

01:05And I know that because of this, employment will be created,

01:09because of this, there will be growth,

01:12because of this, employment potential will increase,

01:15because of this, agriculture growth will increase,

01:17and with that, tourism will also increase.

01:19Honorable President, I request you,

01:22that only in Jammu and Kashmir, we are working for 60,000 crores.

01:27The Jhojila tunnel that is being built,

01:30I was fortunate for the first time,

01:32that your Kashmir is like heaven, how beautiful it is.

01:35In the Jhojila tunnel, right now,

01:371000 people are working inside,

01:40in minus 8 degrees.

01:42And the deadline for the work to be completed is 2026.

01:45I told them to complete it before 2024.

01:48So I think this will be a historic work.

01:51I have decided,

01:53that we will create 1000 contractors in the country,

01:57who can only do transplantation work.

02:00We will not break trees, we will transplant.

02:03I often say this,

02:05that innovation, entrepreneurship, science, technology,

02:08research, skilled and successful practices,

02:11we name it as a knowledge.

02:13And conversion of knowledge into wealth is the future.

02:16And you people gave me suggestions yesterday,

02:18I accepted your suggestions.

02:20One, someone said, I am forgetting the name,

02:22President Maharaj.

02:23He said, on the Aadhaar card,

02:25maybe Srinivas Patil ji said,

02:27on the Aadhaar card,

02:29after which there is Aadhaar card and toll there,

02:31so after seeing the Aadhaar card,

02:33assume that it should be issued a pass immediately.

02:35So I suggest,

02:37wherever such tolls are made,

02:39and there are local people there,

02:41they will make a pass with the Aadhaar card.

02:43Secondly, there is no toll within 60 km.

02:47And some places are open.

02:49Today I assure Sadan,

02:51many times this is wrong,

02:53it is illegal.

02:55I repeatedly say,

02:56but we get money,

02:57so I say yes to the department.

02:59He has fought with me for so many days,

03:01Mr. Bhole.

03:03Now I am telling,

03:04after this,

03:05within three months,

03:07within 60 km,

03:08there will be only one toll,

03:10if there is another,

03:11then there will be another.

03:13Because people definitely need money,

03:16which means people should not be troubled.

03:18We talked about road safety.

03:20In this,

03:22now we have a lot of ways to improve road engineering.

03:25I am the minister of the automobile industry.

03:27Many industries got angry with me.

03:29Because I made 6 airbags mandatory for the economic model.

03:34So they said the cost will increase.

03:36So I said the cost will increase,

03:37so let it increase.

03:39If the poor die, let them die.

03:41Is it like that here?

03:43After this,

03:44in this country,

03:45economic model,

03:46even if it is a small nano model,

03:48every car will have 6 airbags,

03:51we have made it mandatory,

03:53so that our people do not die.

03:55Now this pollution,

03:57of the road,

03:59of diesel,

04:00this is also a problem.

04:02I have been pursuing this for 15 years.

04:04And now I will invite you,

04:07to come to my house next week in this session.

04:09I will give you a tour in a car running on hydrogen.

04:12We need public transport on electricity.

04:15Stop the buses of petrol and diesel.

04:18I came to Kashmir,

04:20I told LG sir,

04:22that I was watching your buses,

04:24everyone leaves the horn and goes.

04:26There are such buses in Bihar.

04:28There is no need to honk.

04:30In Uttar Pradesh, in Bihar,

04:32Yogi ji came to meet me the day before yesterday,

04:34I said take electric buses.

04:36Now 900 electric buses are coming to Mumbai.

04:37500 buses are coming to Pune.

04:39200 buses are coming to Nagpur.

04:41These are electric buses.

04:43Let me tell you,

04:45the times have changed.

04:47So in the coming time,

04:49you should come up with proposals

04:51for roadways and cable cars.

04:53I will help you make all this

04:55with the money of the Indian government.

04:57I want to assure you.
