Vinod Dua has doctored the interview to make it appear as if the stalled projects and NPA were in Ganga related projects and the fault was of the Modi Government.

Gadkari had given an interview to HW News<\/em>, which Dua was analysing on his show. Among other aspects, the show carried a clipping of the interview where the BJP MP explained how he revived his sector.<\/p>\n

Based on the clipping used in ‘The Vinod Dua Show’, the journalist inferred,\u00a0“When he (Nitin Gadkari) was made the minister of a department that was earlier held by Uma Bharti, more than 400 projects were stalled. There were also many loans that were on the verge of turning into NPAs. And he (Nitin Gadkari) believes that the government was also at fault here.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“It is clear that resistance has started arising from within the BJP. Till now Yashwant Sinha, Shatrughan Sinha and Arun Shourie raised their voices, but now a leader associated with the RSS is also saying that if the BJP wants to win the next elections, it can no longer just show Prime Minister Modi’s face. They cannot win based on his rallies, you have to bring forward Nitin Gadkari. Nitin Gadkari himself hinted this to our\u00a0editor Akhilesh Bhargava (translated),”<\/em>\u00a0he continued.\u00a0In the video below, Dua can be heard making the statements up till 1:34 minutes.<\/p>\n

This portrayed Gadkari as holding the BJP government responsible for the stalling of over 400 projects and rising NPAs.\u00a0The episode is now deleted but an archive of its cached version can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inference drawn out of an incomplete video<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If one watches the entire interview uploaded by\u00a0HW News, <\/em>it is apparent that a clipped portion was used on ‘The Vinod Dua Show’. Gadkari was, in fact, blaming the UPA government for the poor performance of the infrastructure sector.<\/p>\n

HW News\u00a0<\/em>had uploaded the video of the Union Minister on December 21 where he was interviewed by the organisation’s Business Editor Akhilesh Bhargava. Gadkari was posed with the question,\u00a0“When you started out, things were not easy. Work had closed down, over 400 projects were stalled and NPAs were plentiful. In fact, even now the infrastructure sector accounts for 1\/4th of the country’s NPAs. How did you revive this sector? (translated)”<\/em><\/p>\n

To this, he answered,\u00a0“When I became in-charge of my department, there were 403 stalled projects…some bank accounts had turned into NPAs and some were about to turn into NPAs…the situation was dire (translated).”<\/em><\/p>\n

Gadkari further added, “If I speak honestly, it is true that 75% of the projects that were stalled were because of the government (translated)…”<\/em>\u00a0This statement was picked up on ‘The Vinod Dua Show’ to conclude that the BJP minister held his own party responsible for the shortcomings of the infrastructure department.<\/p>\n

However, Gadkari was actually blaming the UPA government, which was in power preceding 2014. His above-mentioned statement was immediately followed by,\u00a0“The government during that time, the UPA government, did not get environment forest clearances for any project in 2.5 years. If you don’t get environment forest clearance, how will one work? Land acquisition was at 5%. They gave work order but the land was not acquired, encroachment was not removed…and people took projects (translated).” <\/em>He\u00a0can be heard making these statements 3:20 minutes onward.<\/p>\n
