There are hundreds of political parties in India like Congress BJP Aam Aadmi, and Communist Party but whichever party comes into power in the process of development in the states or countries each party focuses more on each sector. They develop some infrastructure more same every time BJP comes to power this party focuses more on roads and express highways. Let me give you some examples of this. In 67 years of our independence that is from 1947 to 2014 there were 97 thousand kilometers of national highways in India. In 2014 BJP came to power. After coming into India it has increased to 1 lakh 45 thousand kilometers which means that the BJP government has built about 50 thousand kilometers of new highways in just these nine years moreover in 2022 the National Highway Authority of India has created a Guinness record by constructing 75 kilometers of highway in Maharashtra in just four days. Sagar Mala Bharat Mala and the Pradhan Mantri has launched different schemes for roads and highways under the Gram Sabha Yojana and is constructing several thousand kilometers of highways every year.
But the point here is that why is the BJP government building such a huge amount of roads and express highways today I am going to tell you how important the roads and highways are to develop a state or a country. It spends more than crores of rupees but if you want to understand why such a huge amount of money is being spent first of all you need to understand the changes that will take place in that area due to the construction of new roads in an area or the expansion of existing roads the number one commercial activity is new roads in any area. If laid not only the road and vehicles will come there but on both sides of the road petrol bunk stalls shopping malls, theaters, schools and hospitals various businesses will grow and the whole area will be developed commercially so whenever a particular area is developed commercially the surrounding land prices and real most of us know that the estate will increase and the tax revenue from Oralga area will increase to the government but what we do not know is that these roads and express highways are playing a very crucial role for countries like China and America to develop much faster than us.
Let me tell you how listen carefully what many developing countries do is to invite foreign companies to their country build factories there, manufacture goods and export them to foreign countries so for this the government of many countries make the rules and regulations in their country very easy to attract foreign companies but actually when any company decides whether to invest money in a country and build their factories or not the most important thing they construct is the transport and time in that country to get a product from one place to another how much time does it take to take it to another place because if the roads are not good in a country then the cost of transporting an item from one place to another place in that country increases. Companies build factories in any country where the roads and express highways are good and there is less for transportation and raw materials and finished goods are shipped on time. In that country China is in the number one position because there are 1,68,000 km long expressways in china
Many of us think that highways and expressways are the same but it is not true because if national highways are two line or four line then express highways are six line or eight line and in addition to these there is no entry and exit points on express highways only in some selected locations two wheeler and three wheeler vehicles will not be allowed to enter the express highways so what will happen is that the vehicles that use the highways and travel long distances will maintain a constant speed of 100 to 120 kilometers and reach their destination on time without any delay and also in the country. Trade is done correctly without any mis-matches in exports and sports through road ways and vehicles traveling on express highways consume 30 to 40 percent less fuel than vehicles traveling on normal roads because the reason a vehicle consumes more fuel is traffic jams and speed due to the absence of this problem on fluctuations but express waste the vehicles maintain consistency and give better mileage so this also reduces the cost of transportation for many companies.l
But the reason why I am saying all this is because as we have already discussed in starting if any company wants to build their factory in a country it is not enough if the government there gives free land and supplies labor at low cost because there are many countries in the world that can do that like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Africa, but which of those countries are China do you know the reason why it is not developed as fast as it is developed road connectivity means that any company is giving free land in a country and supplying cheap profit moreover sometimes there is an extra loss so when many companies want to invest their money in any country they focus as much on land and labor as they do on the transportation network and logistic services there so many developing countries allow foreign companies in their country apart from offering free land and cheap labour these express highways are very much focused on reducing transport in their country. But in this process in 1999 when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister of our country he realized how important the roads and express plays in the development of a country
