In
a groundbreaking announcement, Union Road and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari
revealed plans to transform the commute between Delhi and Jaipur, slashing

eco-friendly transportation.
Gadkari
shared this exciting update during a rally in Jaipur, where he voiced his
support for Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, the BJP candidate from the Jhotwara
Assembly constituency in Rajasthan. Emphasizing the innovation behind the
project, Gadkari remarked, "Imagine sitting in business class and reaching
Delhi in two hours, at a fare 30% less than a diesel bus."
The minister reminisced about similar skepticism faced when proposing a 45-minute journey from Delhi to Meerut, which is now a reality.

opportunities. Our mission extends beyond political change; it aims to
eradicate hunger, poverty, and unemployment in the country."
Continuing his active involvement in Rajasthan's political landscape, Gadkari conducted a roadshow for Diya Kumari in the Vidyadhar Nagar assembly constituency.
