01:49Yes, I gave it.
01:50This is the entire interview.
01:52It's been in Hindi, it's been a bit of English.
01:56Now it's not in Marathi, so it's not going to be grown in Marathi.
01:59It's not going to be grown.
02:00Namaskar Nitin Gadgari Ji, swagat hai apka.

02:34There can be lots of, I mean, there can be many introductions for you.
02:39But for UNPolitics, if I ask you, Gadgari Ji, to introduce yourself to our viewers, listeners.
02:46I am a small part of the grassroot level.
02:53I have written a poem in my room.
02:58This is an instrument of socio-economic reform.
03:05foreign
03:35I don't expect that I got 13 doctorates.
03:38Tell me, do you want to talk about doctor?
03:42No, I don't want to talk about doctorates.
03:47But the truth is that I was in the 11th century.
03:52I was in the 75th century when I was in the 11th century.
03:56And in that year, I started working on the emergency.
03:59My education career broke.
04:01I got a 52% mark.
04:04I got a 49.26% in the science group.
04:07And I got a disqualify for engineering.
04:10I didn't get to apply.
04:12You wanted to become an engineer?
04:13Yes.
04:14I got everything in my house.
04:16But I got a disqualify.
04:18I got a disqualify for engineering.
04:22I got a disqualify for engineering.
04:24How do you become a doctor?
04:26These are 7 world records in our department.
04:29These are 13 delights.
04:31But this is not my credit.
04:33I don't think I am.
04:34I don't think I am.
04:35I don't think I am.
04:36I have told you, Katgari Ji, that the biggest question is that you are acceptable to all,
04:43be it across party lines, be it in your party.
04:46You are so much loved.
04:48And I have spoken to.
04:49I mean, what I was researching before.
04:51I have talked to many people.
04:53Across party lines, in your party, I did not find one person who really had anything bad to say about you.
04:59Everyone had a good story.
05:01And love only to say.
05:03No.
05:04I do not.
05:05No.
05:06I do not.
05:07I do not.
05:08One thing is that I have no other party.
05:11I have no other party.
05:12I have no other person.
05:13I have no other person.
05:14I have no other person.
05:15And if the work is correct, I will try to do the work.
05:18And not.
05:19I have a good work.
05:20They have no other person.
05:21I'm trying to do it.
05:22I have no other party.
05:23Before I am now.
05:24Does not be a teacher?
05:25You'll do the work to each other.
05:27And when you are a teacher, you can do the work to work.
05:28But you are the mother of the country.
05:31And the mother of the country is what you're supposed to do.
05:34And the mother of the country is the people that the people of the country are.
05:36So if you come to someone, that's what you do,
05:38just one service is your work and your work always needs.
05:41If the whole work is established and if the other work is appropriate,
05:44you should not work in a country.
05:46When I was 45 years old, I saw George Fernandes from a lot of worship. He was my icon.
05:52An icon? George Fernandes Ji.
05:54He was a great leader. He was a very good friend of mine.
05:59There was an iconic picture of him.
06:03I saw George Fernandes and Rehenson.
06:07Sir, you said that George Fernandes is an icon.
06:10You also talked about Vajpayee Ji.
06:16Do you have any icons or leaders that you have seen or emulated?
06:21Do you have any other figures or these are main figures?
06:23No. Look, the patent doesn't happen to anyone.
06:28When I was a student leader in Naagpur,
06:31the reputed leader of A.B. Berdhan,
06:35after the Communist Party, he was a general secretary.
06:38He was so talented, so good and good people.
06:41He was a human being.
06:43And his staff, his staff, his staff.
06:46Then he was impressed with him, his model.
06:49So I also wanted him.
06:52I remember that I was a different party of people,
06:59who I heard my language.
07:01And they felt very good.
07:03They were in the Communist Party,
07:08the Communist Party,
07:10the Congress Party,
07:12the BJP.
07:14There is nothing about Nehru Ji's fault.
07:17I don't want to learn about it.
07:19I don't want to learn about it.
07:20Every person has a great power.
07:22And in every person,
07:24we do not have any power.
07:26We all are a power.
07:28I don't want to learn about it.
07:32100% perfection is an impossible concept.
07:35Every person has something good and bad.
07:38We have a good patent register.
07:42We need good good.
07:44We need good good.
07:45And we need to add good good good.
07:49This is a good good good.
07:51It can be good good.
07:53Qatgari Ji,
07:54Sangh from BJP and Nagpur from Delhi,
07:58which is your journey,
07:59how do you encapsulate it?
08:01A good journey.
08:04I don't like Delhi.
08:07I don't like Delhi.
08:08I don't like Delhi.
08:09I don't like Delhi.
08:11I don't like Delhi.
08:12But Delhi is my destiny.
08:13I think I'm coming here.
08:14What is Delhi here?
08:15There is a lot of pollution.
08:16Where I live,
08:17I am working in Delhi, I am working in the list of 1,000,000 crores in Delhi, and I am working
08:34in the NCR for more than 40,000 crores in Delhi, I am working with the traffic jam.
08:40I am working in Delhi with the 40% contribution of the transport sector, which I am a minister.
08:45I am working with electric, ethanol, bio-diesel, LNG, CNG, hydrogen, flex engine, all these are all.
08:54Green fuel and alternative fuel are my mission.
08:57I have a hydrogen car, a flex engine, a 100% ethanol car, a electric car, I am sitting there.
09:04I am working in Delhi.
09:05I am working on a Supreme Court in Delhi.
09:10The Chief Justice made me a book.
09:13I have written a book.
09:14I have written a book in Delhi.
09:15I have written a book in Delhi.
09:17I have written a book in Delhi.
09:19In Delhi, there are 220,000,000 tons of rice straw.
09:23And now I have done a new research.
09:26These are 400 projects that are already coming.
09:30They are running 90.
09:31They are using five tons of rice straw to one ton of CNG, bio CNG.
09:37The tractor, scooter can go.
09:40And now I have 10, 15 tons of plants come.
09:43And there are about 20,000,000 tons of material use.
09:47And the CNG, the truck and buses will go.
09:51And the fossil fuel will be reduced.
09:53The other thing is, the product of it is 35 to 40%.
09:58This is a bitumen.
10:00We have built a road.
10:01We have built a road.
10:02We have built a road.
10:03We have built a road.
10:04We have built a road.
10:05We have built a road.
10:06We have built a road.
10:08We have built a road.
10:10It is a bitumenical.
10:11You have set your target as a transport and highway minister
10:17of 100 kilometers per day.
10:19It is a good target?
10:21It is a difficult target.
10:23But in my dictionary, there is no word impossible.
10:26Impossible.
10:27I am possible.
10:29Now you will ask, how will it happen?
10:32How are we doing it?
10:33We are on 36.
10:34We are on 36 or 37 kilometers.
10:35So what are we doing?
10:36What is the plan?
10:37What is my plan?
10:39Now I am building a 2 to 4 length of 2 to 4 length.
10:44There is a land available.
10:46So I want to award the 2 to 4 length of the project in a year.
10:50So if we add these 25,000 kms, then it will be great.
10:54Then I am building a little BOT, hybrid unit.
10:58I am building a speed.
11:00What is the target?
11:01We are saying that you get 75 mark.
11:04Okay, good.
11:05But why don't you get 80?
11:07Why don't you get 80?
11:09Why don't you get 80?
11:10Why don't you get 80?
11:11Why don't you get 99?
11:12So this is a big target.
11:14I have been building a target for this year.
11:17I am saying this target is hard.
11:20It is very difficult.
11:22But this is a target.
11:23This is not my declaration.
11:25This is a target.
11:27I have been building a goal.
11:29Probably within 2 or 3 years, I will be building a goal.
11:34You have changed the face of the Indian highways.
11:39I think the Indian highways networks has increased, if I am not wrong, in the last 15 years by 60%.
11:46And that is unimaginable.
11:48And you can take credit for that.
11:51But there are a lot of things that are happening in the early days.
11:54Now you can see.
11:55There are news.
11:56It has increased on the highway.
11:58You have made a highway that is in 90 degrees.
12:03In the contractor in Madhya Pradesh.
12:05How do you see these cases in Madhya Pradesh?
12:10I have made a bridge.
12:11I have made a bridge.
12:12I have made a bridge.
12:13It is a 90 degree highway.
12:14Now you understand it.
12:15It is not your country.
12:16In this country, there are 72,000,000 km roads.
12:21I am only 1,500,000 km.
12:25But what do you eat all?
12:2640% of the country traffic is on our national highway.
12:29Now I am only a national highway.
12:31Then there are state highways.
12:33There are DDA roads in Delhi.
12:35There are DDA roads in Delhi.
12:37There are municipal cars in Delhi.
12:38There are state roads.
12:39There are rural roads in Delhi.
12:41There are district roads in Delhi.
12:42There are district roads in Delhi.
12:44There are state roads in Delhi.
12:46There are some MMRD.
12:47There are some NIT roads.
12:50I am only responsible for NH.
12:53Now there is a problem.
12:54There are many cars in Delhi.
12:55There are some cars in Delhi.
12:57Like today, the bridge that happened in Gujarat.
13:00I am talking about generic.
13:03I am talking about contractors.
13:05That it was not good fitness.
13:07That it was not good.
13:08But ultimately, the people are known as collateral.
13:11Look at this one.
13:12One thing is, you can see.
13:13Accident is a different thing.
13:16And the other thing is,
13:17the other thing is,
13:18the other thing is,
13:20if the mistakes are bona fide,
13:22then you should map it.
13:24But if the mistakes are bona fide,
13:26then you shouldn't stop it.
13:28My ministry is off the record.
13:30There was a lot of people in the morning.
13:32Some people are saying,
13:33look,
13:34they are doing a lot of work,
13:36but they are giving such deadlines
13:37that the people are missing
13:38and jump and jump.
13:39Is that right?
13:40I am not asking you.
13:43I am going to jump.
13:45I am going to jump.
13:46I am going to jump.
13:47Yes, absolutely.
13:48I am not going to jump.
13:49If I am going to jump on the road,
13:50I am going to jump.
13:51I am going to jump.
13:52I am not going to jump.
13:54If it is your target,
13:55there is 7 words record,
13:56then I am not going to jump back.
13:57Can you decide,
13:58I am going to jump?
13:59I am wrong.
14:00This is not going to jump.
14:01I am not gonna be a complaint Amit.
14:03I will not deliberately compromise to this.
14:04One thing is one road
14:07on my house has been worked.
14:08The whole economy has been on my house.
14:09Where I am ever known mine,
14:10the ownership is my home.
14:12Of course I am making my ownership
14:13into this road.
14:14I am making this too
14:15complexity.
14:16The satisfy fees become...
14:17Toes will not slip.
14:18So,
14:20Do you have any favorite meme on the tolls?
14:24I've just left it.
14:25I've just left it.
14:26Now I've got a pass for 3,000 rupees.
14:29It was a big issue.
14:31In the past few years, people have trolled me.
14:34It was a lot of fun.
14:37Was it your favorite meme?
14:39What is it? Public.
14:41The most popular movie was the most popular movie.
14:44I took the tolls and took the toll.
14:48Tell me, because this is true or not.
14:50You collected your urine 72 liters and gave it to your gardener?
14:55Yes, I gave it.
14:57I gave it.
14:58You said it.
14:59In this case, there was a mistake.
15:01Look, conversion of waste into wealth.
15:04You know, the amount of waste you use,
15:07you segregate the organic waste.
15:10In the organic waste, Indian oil people have prepared a culture.
15:14It becomes organic manual.
15:16It becomes very good.
15:18This is a culture in the village.
15:20You know, the amount of waste from human waste,
15:23the food comes out.
15:24Now, tell me, the food of waste is so good.
15:27This is the whole farm.
15:29We prepare a living room.
15:31You know what?
15:32In the living room,
15:34there are 200 liters of water,
15:35there are 20 liters of goat goat goat goat.
15:37and 10 liters of goat goat goat
15:39and one or two kilos of goat.
15:42And with little dil ?"
15:44and put it and put it and scrub it.
15:46and say,
15:47and then, without a little more,
15:48it is very good.
15:49Now, they put it in the goat goat.
15:52What do we know of goat goat goat?
15:54I don't know the benefits of my house, it's made of paint from Gober, and it's so beautiful
15:59and beautiful paint, which I will show you in the conference room, so it's something that
16:05it's a value addition, it's a process, it's a transformation, now it's your clothes,
16:10it's cutters, I have a project in which I will show you something, I will show you something
16:16later, it's a whole house, it's 10,000, 8,000, it's built in high 400 and in 500,
16:22you can do yoga sun, you can do that in that day, waste to wealth, now technology is so
16:29changed, that we are doing conversion of waste into wealth, and this is a person's urine
16:36in nitrogen, who will become BJP Gaddi, what's your feeling, a very important question,
16:41it's a wrong question, you will do it again, you will become a question,
16:47if you ask me, he will probably tell me, I will become a woman, I will become a woman,
16:52or I will become a woman.
16:54But what you think, because Gatgari ji is talking about being a woman,
16:58you think that the time is coming, maybe you should be a woman?
17:02I think so that the party will be a woman, and it will be soon.
17:06I think so, when Gatgari ji's book, India Aspires,
17:10is a visionary, you have talked a lot about development,
17:14in your book, there is a lot of development,
17:16in your interviews, there is a lot of development,
17:18and you have done it too, you are seen as somebody,
17:21who can be looked as a man who has developed this country,
17:23and there is a lot of low neta in it, so that is also your motivation.
17:26But do you think that in one party,
17:29only one of the people who can be a woman?
17:32No, nothing, no, no, see,
17:34you have asked the question,
17:36that when you asked the intention of our party,
17:38today, the woman who is a woman,
17:39the woman who is a woman,
17:41what do you know, my intention is what is your intention?
17:43No, those who are not,
17:45because we are working with the people who are working,
17:47I also work with them,
17:49and in the 11th year of the regime,
17:52which the Congress can not do in the 11th year,
17:54in the 11th year, our party has been working with the people,
17:58foreign
18:04foreign
18:12foreign
18:26I don't believe you.
18:28I don't believe it.
18:29I don't believe it.
18:31I will work.
18:33I will work.
18:35Whatever I can do, I will do it.
18:37The entire interview has been in Hindi.
18:40It has been a bit of English.
18:42It has not been in Marathi,
18:43so it will not be grown in Maharashtra?
18:45No, it will not be grown.
18:46Look,
18:48all of this life is not a good thing.
18:52Hindi is our relationship,
18:54particularly in Marathi,
18:57Marathi,
18:59Marathi the shant,
19:01Marathi the wh Five,
19:02Marathi the shangith,
19:03Marathi the sliate,
19:04Marathi the nature,
19:05We all are aspiration,
19:06our prayers.
19:07But, Marathi the importance of
19:09Marathi to the abhimaal.
19:10This means,
19:11any language can in any way,
19:13it won't be.
19:14So,
19:15we don't have Marathi
19:17to keep we all have fun.
19:20This is your language.
19:21I am curious to know,
19:22Can you tell me the truth or not that Balasaheb, Thakre, Sharat Pawar are very close to you?
19:28Now, I think the best connection is. Balasaheb, Thakre, look, Raj Thakre is a family of my family.
19:37Those two Thakre are also a family. Every marriage of my family, they all come to my house.
19:41And look, why do you want to see everything?
19:45Politics is different and the rest of the family is different.
19:51Any family, the family of the family is so sad and the rest of the family is so sad.
19:58If they are one, that's a good thing.
20:00But one is now done.
20:02The family needs to be one. The family needs to be one.
20:05The family needs to be one.
20:06If they are so united, they are not the right thing for the party.
20:09We have a power. We will fight with them.
20:11Whoever will survive to the people will be able to fight our lives.
20:15We will have to work in our lives.
20:17I like people who can get the thing done.
20:47But I find that I don't have a message, I will not give you a message, I have to say I have a message in the morning.
20:59If you would like to know what a man, what a Would like to know if you would like to know what a man, it would like to be in a room.
21:13We had a warm beer.
21:16No wine and beer.
21:19I went to the chowgule.
21:21The senior said to me,
21:24I said to myself,
21:25I have been doing my work.
21:26Then I said,
21:27I have to drink wine.
21:28So both of them have to drink and I have to drink.
21:30I said,
21:30I have never drank.
21:31I said,
21:31Why?
21:33I said,
21:33I have never drank.
21:34My mother is a big song.
21:36I have never drank.
21:38So I said,
21:39Chowgule,
