Gadkari asks citizens to work for social betterment

Jaipur, Aug 8: BJP President Nitin Gadkari asked citizens to take "collective responsibility" for the betterment of the society and reducing dependence on government.

"Uplifting the status of citizens is the duty of the government but it does not mean that everybody becomes dependent only on the government," Gadkari said at a function here.

He asked people to come forward and take collective responsibility so as to reduce dependency on government infrastructure and set examples.

"Years after independence, a large number of people are still deprived of benefits of government schemes...This situation can be changed when people take responsibility to change the scenario," he said.
