Gadkari Claims Pothole-Spotting Tech from His Office Sparks Online Reactions

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said he brought technology to spot even a single pothole on Indian roads from his office and called it an X-ray machine that puts every contractor in fear. Posts sharing the remark drew replies that mocked the statement, including one labeling him Scientist Nithinol Gadbadi. Other users recalled his earlier claim that collapsing bridges would trigger alarms in his office and noted that travel on the roads already reveals potholes without special equipment.
