00:00I told my wife that I had put a bulldozer at my in-laws' house.
00:07I was newly married and my in-laws' house was coming in the middle of the road.
00:12The road was being built in Ramtek, so I told my wife that I had put a bulldozer at my in-laws' house.
00:20And I had blown up the road.
00:22This is what leaders should do. They should not commit the sin of saving the opposition.
00:26I have a dream.
00:29I have written in my office that American roads are not good because America is rich.
00:37But America is rich because American roads are good.
00:41This was said by John Kennedy.
00:43Prosperity comes from roads, development happens.
00:47And after building roads, land prices increase.
00:50I am a journalist. We have given farmers one and a half times the market price.
00:56I am a farmer.
00:58And in a very liberal approach, we have given farmers the price of land acquisition.
01:04But I will ask those farmers not to sell their land.
01:08If you go ahead to develop it, you will get more money.
01:13Because I want farmers to become rich.
01:15But when we build roads, the builders and developers buy the land.
01:21And they get the benefit of the rise in prices.
01:24The roads have become kilometers now.
01:27But no one will tolerate those who do bad work.
01:31Whether it is an official or a contractor, they will not be spared.
01:35These are the assets of our country. We are not going to compromise with it.
