So, firstly, our government has decided to increase the national highway length from 96,000 to 2 lakh km. And after two years of demonetisation and GST, the economists have said the revenue receipt will be around Rs 28-30 lakh crore. We have a work order worth Rs 6 lakh crore — Rs 1.5 lakh crore work in the shipping sector and Rs 4-4.5 lakh crore in the road and transport sector. When there is an investment of Rs 1 lakh crore, 10 lakh people will get direct employment. So, if we have done work worth Rs 6 lakh crore, then we will give jobs to 60 lakh crore.
