PM Modi to inaugurate new parliament building India
On Sunday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to officially open the country’s new parliament building INDIA, which is a controversial $2.4 billion renovation of the city’s historic core that his detractors have dubbed a “vanity project.”
The head of state will formally ensconce the “Sengol,” a symbolic sceptre, in the lower house of the legislature. On the eve of India’s 1947 independence from Great Britain, the gold-plated item was given to the nation’s first prime minister.
According to Indian Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah, Modi’s participation was a “testament” to the prime minister’s goal of “creating a new India.” He continued, saying the architecture of the new parliament building INDIA “combines the country’s heritage and traditions.”
The upcoming launch, however, has turned into a flashpoint in the continuing political and cultural conflict between Modi and his detractors, who charge the populist leader with being “authoritarian” and “undemocratic.”
In this case, they have criticized Modi for choosing to conduct the ceremony himself rather than delegating it to Draupadi Murmu, India’s President and head of state.
The parliament “cannot function” without the president, according to a statement released by 19 political parties on Wednesday, and Modi’s prominent position in the event is a “direct assault” on India’s democracy.
In the statement, it was stated that “we find no value in a new building when the soul of democracy has been sucked out of the Parliament.”

His remarks come amid a war of words between the Congress and the BJP over the history of the Sengol with Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying it was a symbol of the transfer of power from the British in 1947 and should have gotten its due respect after Independence but was kept on display as a “walking stick” at Anand Bhawan in Prayagraj.
