Gadkari says wealth concentrates, India's rich-poor gap widens

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari expressed concern that wealth in India is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, leading to a widening rich-poor divide. Gadkari stated the number of poor people is growing, emphasizing the need to decentralize wealth for fairer economic growth and job creation, particularly in rural areas. He also discussed imbalances in the economy. Gadkari highlighted the importance of economic growth for the common people, referencing Swami Vivekananda, and discussed the evolving role of chartered accountants in driving economic expansion.
