Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath had said that the state's finances were in a mess when the Congress formed the government in December last year. A year has passed and the state government is still struggling to fund its development projects. Many projects including the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin, the Bhopal-Indore six-lane expressway, and some road projects are waiting for funds. The same is the case with other departments like the Public Health Engineering Department, Public Works Department, and that of water resources. The government dropped the plan for a new Bhopal-Indore expressway because it needed Rs 6,000 crore
