To say that Nitin Jairam Gadkari
is among a few politicians in India who has a great business sense too won’t be
wrong. But many a times he is criticised for splurging money on certain
projects but later on he is applauded for his vision. Multi-level mechanised
parking bay appears to have been one among them. In the last few months Gadkari’s
ministry is suddenly flooded with dozens of contracts including that of MCDs
and Govt of Gujarat which appears to have become a new stream of revenue
earnings. Statue of Unity, PM Modi’s ambitious project at Kewadia, is attracting
huge influx of tourist vehicle everyday and Sardar Sarovar Project officials too
are in talks with NHIDCL top officials for construction of a parking bay with a
capacity of over 2000 vehicles. It may be recalled that Gadkari
had faced lots of criticisms about feasibility and spending of huge public
money when his ministry came up with the idea of building a multi-level parking
bay for Transport Bhawan. Sometimes later in a public gathering early this
year, he recalled series of criticism on the issue. Then he underlined that his
idea was to create an example which might pull demands from various states and
agencies winning contracts for the ministry. Recently, North and South MCD
(Delhi) too finalised the MoU with his ministry for constructing over a dozen
of such parking bays each costing approx. Rs 15 crore. And such proposals from
across the country are in queue.
