The Saryu Irrigation Project was approved over 40 years ago with a projected cost of 100 Crore Rupees. Less than one-third was completed even after 30+ years under the Congress/UPA regimes while the cost ballooned to nearly 10,000 Crores! This was true of nearly every single project-why India remained poor instead of overtaking China by a huge margin.
