Nitin Gadkari gets Rs.4 Lakh royalty per month for YouTube lecture videos
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday said he gets Rs four lakh every month as royalty from YouTube, as viewership of his lecture videos posted on the platform has increased during the pandemic period. While reviewing the progress of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway (DME) in Bharuch, Gadkari further said his ministry has started rating road construction contractors and consultants.
According to the news agency PTI’s report, during COVID-19 times, the road transport and highways minister said, he did two things. “I became a chef and started cooking at home and giving lectures through video conference. I delivered more than 950 lectures online, including lectures to foreign universities students, which were uploaded on YouTube. Viewership of my YouTube channel increased and YouTube now pays me Rs.4 lakh per month as royalty,” he said.
Gadkari added that under this expressway, 60 major bridges, 17 interchanges, 17 flyovers and eight roads over bridges (ROBs) will be built in the state.
