4. CP Joshi
Minister of Road Transport and Highways, CP Joshi has never been in the limelight for making a difference to the transport systems in the country. His role gains upmost importance as the country is at a phase of rapid economic growth and the investors are looking for fast-paced infrastructural development. It's alleged that he could not keep his focus on predecessor Kamal Nath's dream of constructing 20 km a day of national highways. Many a projects were stalled due to the disputes between the Planning Commission and the ministry. The National Highways Development Programme (NHDP) launched under the NDA regime is at its lowest pace now.
