The need for a new Parliament House!
X
Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan came up with the proposal of building a new Parliament House equipped with latest technological facilities for better functioning.

In her letter to Union Urban Development Minister, Sumitra Mahajan opined the existing Parliament House has been showing signs of distress and willn't be able to meet the growing demand for space. She even suggested two options as the location for the new building - I) Within the Parliament premises; II) At Rajpath.

Parliament House was constructed during the pre-Independence period. While the foundation was laid in 1921, Inauguration happened in January 1927. The total cost was estimated as Rs 83 lakhs.

To construct the new state-of-the-art Parliament House, Centre will have to spend at least few hundreds of crores. What would Modi ji & Naidu ji do now?
