With Gokulram strongly feeling that the Ministry is bent on interfering in the 8220;autonomous8221; NHAI, he has begun to keep a distance from even Road and Transport Secretary Brahm Dutt despite both of them being from the Karnataka cadre.

Incidentally, it was Dutt8217;s recommendation that got Gokulram the NHAI post.
