Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said,” India’s agricultural growth rate is expected to be 20 per cent in the next two years and the Centre’s first priority is to make the sector economically viable and create more jobs”. In order to become a USD 5 trillion economy and achieve third rank in the work, the country’s rural economy and agriculture are very important, the Union minister for road transport and highways said. The Union minister said India can match the competitiveness of China.
He also said the size of the automobile sector in the country was Rs 14 lakh crore when he became minister (in 2014), which had grown to Rs 22 lakh crore now. Asked about some states levying taxes on electric vehicles (EVs) at a time when the Union government is promoting it, he said it is the prerogative of state governments. Encouraging alternative bio fuel is the policy of the Central government. We have to decide on whether to generate employment or distribute money.
