The video has infuriated social media users worldwide. It has had over 160K views since it was uploaded. A few others are also making light of the issue.

According to sources, at least three tenders have been issued to rebuild the damaged road. However, all of the contractors have gone AWOL, leaving the work undone. Gadkari had stated at an event that Bihar's road infrastructure will be on par with that of the United States by December 2024.
