BJP supporters once couldn’t stop waxing eloquent about the Golden Quadrilateral project of the Vajpayee era; now, it’s the efficiency of Nitin Gadkari in building Mumbai’s 55 flyovers. So a BJP regime with Gadkari in charge of surface transport should result in paradise on earth, right? Well, not yet anyway. While lots of hot air has been expended on highways connecting villages, there’s little to show on the ground, 200 days after. The joke about the UPA building 20 km of highways every day, which the BJP used to mock regularly, is now snaking around the NDA’s neck, although these are early days.
