The Builders Association of India (BAI) and Maharashtra State Contractor's Association (MSCA) amongst others like the Hot Mix Association and more, took aim at the Maharashtra government which they claimed has not cleared bills of the contractors working on government projects like roads, bridges, and building construction in the State.

Representatives of various associations representing contractors said, “collective bills of over R90,000 crore are outstanding with the Maharashtra government”. They said it was time to stop work, till all dues were paid at a fiery press conference at the Cricket Club of India’s (CCI) C K Nayudu hall on Monday afternoon.
At the outset, they made it clear that the focus was on a lot of rural projects, interior roads and bridges in smaller places within the State. “The problem is with the non-payment of dues by the State Government, these smaller projects are affected. Projects funded by the central government or which have World Bank funds are not affected,” they stated.
