Rahul Gandhi attacks Modi govt over construction of Central Vista project amid Covid-19 crisis

New Delhi/IBNS: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday attacked the central government over its decision to continue with the construction of Central Vista project at a time the country's health system has crippled over the rise in Covid-19 cases.

Rahul's attack came after the central government brought the Rs. 20,000-cr-project, which will be built in the centre of Delhi, under the ambit of "essential services".

The Congress leader tweeted, "Central Vista- not essential. Central Govt with a vision- essential."

The Central Vista project aims to build and refurbish the government buildings in a four-km stretch from Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate.

The new Parliament building is the centre-piece of the project worth Rs. 20,000 crore.

The Supreme Court in January this year said the construction of a new Parliament complex can go ahead in the national capital Delhi, in a rule favouring the Narendra Modi government.

The ambitious project of the Centre includes a common Central Secretariat, a new Parliament House building, and residences of the Prime Minister and Vice President.

While the new Parliament building is slated to be ready by 2022, a portion of the new Central Secretariat, housing the offices of all central ministries, will be ready by 2023.
