A letter written by PM Modi’s principal secretary Nripendra Misra has said the surface transport ministry under Nitin Gadkari has done better than Railways under the much fancied Suresh Prabhu.
The letter, which has been interpreted as the view of the prime Minister, slams Prabhu for "less than satisfactory performance" of his ministry, reports The Telegraph.
The passenger and freight traffic has dropped and the Railways’ utilisation of the record Rs 40,000 crore budgetary support has been unimpressive.
It is also struggling to give wings to Modi’s pet high-speed rail project.
In contrast, Nitin Gadkari – usually in news for wrong reasons - is believed to have done a better job.

Under him, Surface Transport Ministry has been building 3 km of road every day and has plans to crank it up to 30km.
He has awarded contracts for nearly 1,900km of expressways between April and August this year, a 90 per cent jump over last year, reports The Telegraph.
