Conclusion

The state of Madhya Pradesh goes to polls this year. Both opposition parties i.e. Congress, and the ruling party BJP are making promises to interest their voters.

Definitely, these cities would need this construction to manage the traffic. But, the undertones of an election maneuver can't be sidelined.
