New Delhi: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday shared the video of a courtyard of the new Parliament building. The video showed water leaking from a domed glass roof and into a blue bucket.
“The old Parliament building was better than this new. Why not go back to the old Parliament… at least till the time the water (stops) dripping in a parliament built with billions of rupees…”
Taking a swipe at the BJP, Yadav claimed “people are asking if water dripping from every new roof constructed under this government is a part of a well-thought out design or…”
Other opposition figures, including Trinamool Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra and Congress MP Manickam Tagore, have also mocked the BJP over the video.
“New parliament lobby is leaking water…” Moitra posted on X, comparing the apparent leak to the BJP’s “shaky” election results; the saffron party claimed a third term in the April-June polls, but only with support from allies after falling 32 seats short of an outright majority.
Tagore’s post referenced the exam paper leak row involving the NEET-UG medical course entrance tests, which the opposition has used to target the central government.
“Paper leakage outside, water leakage inside…” he declared.
The recent water leakage in the Parliament lobby used by President (Droupadi Murmu) highlights urgent weather resilience issues in the new building,” he also said, indicating he will move an adjournment notice in the Lok Sabha’s ongoing session to discuss this issue.
Delhi’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party posted, “Parliament built at cost of ₹ 1,200 crore is now dependent on a bucket of ₹ 120.”
