Central Vista Project
Put people's lives at Centre: Rahul over Modi govt's go ahead with Central Vista amid Covid
New Delhi/IBNS: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government at the Centre for allegedly wasting money on the Central Vista project at a time the country is reeling under the threat of Covid-19 pandemic.
Without taking the name of the Prime Minister, Rahul tweeted, "Central Vista is criminal wastage. Put people’s lives at the centre- not your blind arrogance to get a new house!"

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.
Amid the raging pandemic, the central government last week announced that a new Prime Minister's residence will be built by Dec 2022.
