Found this gem from the past, 2000, when Atal bihari government.
When the proposed the golden quadrilateral highway network, these guys were opposing that too.
>It is called the golden quadrilateral and is the latest dream that the Government is trying to sell to the people of India. A 6,000-km-long highway that will link our four major cities, will have four lanes if not six and will be ready in three years.
>When the surface transport minister unveiled the project last week he described it as a dream project of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He was speaking not just of the Golden Quadrilateral, which sounds more like a speechwriter's idea of roads, but also of a 7,000-km corridor that will link India from north to south and east to west.
>The minister's own dream is to be chief minister of Uttar Pradesh so he has spent little time studying the business of roads. Or he would have described the prime minister's dream as a hoax. These thousands of kilometres of roads are, in fact, imaginary highways.
These guys constantly demean indians, dehumanize by comparing with likes of china but don't forget that they have actively played role in blocking every attempt to improve things.
Earlier it was highways, then expressways then HSRs.
