    A few years back, the roads & freeways were a bit rough here & now they have started repairing. The repairing & laying tar has been going since many years & almost done. But once it's repaired it lasts long years unlike in India where potholes reappear within a few days.

    “We are building 20 kms/day of new roads.” This is an often heard statement made by everyone from Nitin Gadkari to every Tom, Dick and Bhagwat of the BJP.
    According to the report submitted by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways Research Wing, as on 31 March 2014, India had a total of 91,287 kms of national highways.
    So if this is true, then in the last three years, the NHAI and the NHIDCL should have built a total of 21,900 kms of new roads.
    As per the latest information available on the government website, the current length of national highways under the NHAI stands at 10,0087 kms.

    Let’s now play some counting games!
    20 kms/day in three years. Any idea how much would this add up to?
    20 X 3 X 365 = 21,900 kms (What BJP claims they have built since forming the government at the Centre in May 2014.)
    For those pretending to be intelligent BJP supporters, who would say, “but how can you count Sunday, when it’s holiday?’ Even after excluding Sundays, the figure still comes to 18,780 kms. But since this BJP government is ‘known’ to work 24 X 7 every week under a hard-working prime minister, I am going with the previous figure.
    10,0087 (current length of national highways under the NHAI) – 91,287 (length of national highways as on 31 March 2014) = 8,800 kms. This is what the Modi government’s own data claims what they have built in little over 3 years in office.
    So, in effect we have 21,900 – 8,800 = 13,100 kms of NH missing to justify the BJP spokies’ claims on TV channels.
    CM Chouhan was caught on camera being carried by two policemen on his visit to flood-hit areas in the state. Images showed that a policeman and a Home Guard officer lifted Chouhan as he crossed a nullah with ankle-deep water in Kamtana village near Amanganj town of Panna district. In another picture, he is seen walking barefoot through mud while his aide is carrying his white sneakers.
    I think CM Chouhan may be had hard landing in Mars in his 'Pushpaka Vimana' after soma rasa.
    Jai Hind

    Shivraj Singh Chouhan proved once again what is BJP.[Liers]

    He thought no one knows about America and Washington DC. As his usual attitude, he lied innocent Indians. But media showed all the truth.
    The second thing might happen, he took more drinks in flight, and he thought he was still Aeroplane not in the vehicle when he was traveling on the road.
    He could have compared his Bungalow floor is better than Washington DC roads, then it could be a good comparison.

    Just think what a CM that is from BJP? Lier, fool, stupid, and uncivilized person.
