If there’s one thing more consistent than potholes on indian roads, it’s Nitin Gadkari’s shifting deadlines. For years, the Union minister has been promising that indian roads will “match US standards.” The only problem? The deadline keeps moving like a mirage.
Here’s the timeline of how Gadkari has turned road-building into a roadshow of empty promises:
1. 2020: The First Promise
“By 2022, indian roads will match US standards,” Gadkari declared. Citizens dared to dream—smooth highways, safe travel, world-class infrastructure.
2. 2022: The Postponement Begins
When nothing changed, the deadline magically shifted: “By 2024 end.” No accountability, no explanation, just another extension.
3. 2024: Another Shift
As 2024 ended, indian commuters were still dodging potholes and traffic jams. Gadkari again pushed the goalpost: “By 2026 end.” Hope was sold once more.
4. 2025: The New Mirage
Now, in 2025, the promise is recycled yet again: “By 2027 end.” At this rate, indian roads will “match US standards” only in speeches, not reality.
5. So Easy to Fool the Public
Every time a new date is thrown, people clap, memes are made, and headlines splash. Meanwhile, taxpayers still suffer broken roads, accidents, and endless jams—proof that PR is smoother than our highways.
👉 The Slap of Reality: Nitin Gadkari’s promises are like indian potholes—they keep reappearing no matter how often you cover them up. For the common people, this is not progress—it’s propaganda on repeat.
