Gadkari said Kale has involved the young generation in the Advantage Vidarbha initiative. "I believe that gradually, the generation should also change." "Ashish's father is my friend. Now we should be gradually made to retire and the responsibility be given to the new generation, and when the vehicle starts running smoothly, then we should withdraw and do some other work," Gadkari said.

There are very good entrepreneurs in Vidarbha region in various sectors, Gadkari said. The objective of the three-day event is to establish Vidarbha as a strong and emerging growth hub on India's industrial map, he added.
