Likely to be inaugurated on 30 May
Sources said that the cleaning of the new Parliament House has started. But so far no information has been given by the government on the inauguration. However, there is speculation that the new Parliament building may be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi around May 30 when the BJP government completes nine years in office. The construction of the new Parliament building started two years ago.
The new building is part of the nation’s powerhouse Central Vista redevelopment. Renovation of the three kilometer road from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate, construction of a common Central Secretariat, a new office and residence of the Prime Minister, and a new Vice President’s Enclave are also part of the project being carried out by the Central Public Works Department.
Sources said, “The new Parliament building will be ready before the end of this month. However, no official statement has been made so far regarding its inauguration.
There is speculation that the new Parliament building may be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi around May 30 when the BJP government completes nine years in office.
The foundation was laid in December 2020
Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri had said in November last year that it was up to the government to decide when the building would be inaugurated. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation stone of the new Parliament building in December 2020, which would have modern facilities.
The new Parliament building is being constructed by Tata Projects Limited. The building will have a grand Constitution Hall, a lounge for Members of Parliament, a library, several committee rooms, dining areas and ample parking space to showcase India’s democratic heritage. The original deadline to complete the project was November last year.
