Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, Bharat's longest-ever sea bridge. 22 kilometers long, 6 lanes. It cuts 2 hour's journey to just 20 minutes. Unbelievable, right? Could someone have imagined this a few years ago? This is the knock on those closed doors, which used to say, India can't dream big. But, but, but, we built this majestic marvel in just 7 years. It is not just a bridge, it is a guarantee for a young Bharat. Our nation is unstoppable now. Wake up and vote for development."
