During his speech, the minister expressed his happiness with the construction of the new Urban Extension Road-2 (UER-2), noting that he used that very road to get to the event. He said it's great to see good roads being built and the country's infrastructure improving.
The minister also shared some thoughts on broader topics, saying that "knowledge is the greatest power" and that India can become a "world leader" by using it. He emphasised that this leadership should not be about dominating others, but about working for the good of humanity, based on principles of religion, justice and truth.
