New Delhi: India’s new Parliament building is likely to be inaugurated later this month by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It will mark nine years of his government. Notably, the PM had taken the oath of office nine years ago on May 26, 2014.
The four-storey building, built at an estimated cost of Rs 970 crores, can house 1,224 MPs. It also has a grand Constitution hall to showcase India’s democratic heritage, dining areas and ample parking space. The staff in both Houses will adorn a new uniform designed by the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT).
The new structure has three doors – Gyan Dwar, Shakti Dwar, and Karma Dwar, and separate entries for MPs, VIPs and visitors.
According to reports, the BJP has planned a massive month-long “special contact campaign” across the country, covering all Lok Sabha constituencies to mark nine years of Narendra Modi-led government. He will launch the campaign with a huge rally on May 30. A second rally of the PM will be held the next day, May 31. 51 rallies of senior BJP leaders have been planned across the country.
