“There will be no dearth of money for development in Bihar, but the only thing required is a strong willpower and a vision for it,” Mr. Gadkari said. He was speaking at a function to mark the completion of one year of the Narendra Modi government. Construction of roads had brought laurels for the Nitish Kumar government, playing a significant role in the re-election of his government in the 2010 Assembly elections.
