Congress leader Jairam Ramesh calls new Parliament
Modi multiplex

Right from day one of the announcement of the new parliament house, the opposition parties were against it and strongly criticised PM Modi and the BJP Party.

On Saturday it was the Congress leader Jairam Ramesh who hailed the new parliament a ‘Modi multiplex’.

Unable to digest the comments by Jairam, BJP chief JP Nadda slammed the Congress Leader.

Slamming the new Parliament where the special session was heard calling it ‘Modi Multiplex’ or ‘Modi Marriot’. Taking to social media platform X, the Congress leader wrote that he witnessed the death of ’confabulations’ and ‘conversations’ both inside the two Houses and in the lobbies.

Adding that the architecture can kill democracy, he quoted that PM has already succeeded even without rewriting the Constitution. Continuing his scathing attack, Ramesh claimed that the halls of the new parliament building are not cozy or compact and one needed binoculars to see each other in the complex. This new one weakens the bonding needed to make the running of Parliament a success. “Quick coordination between the two Houses is now exceedingly cumbersome.

In the old building, if you were lost, you would find your way back again since it was circular. In the new building, if you lose your way, you are lost in a maze. The old building gave a sense of space and openness while the new one is almost claustrophobic. Claiming that the ‘sheer joy’ of ‘hanging out’ had disappeared, Ramesh called the new complex as ‘painful and agonising’.

Ramesh further added that perhaps a better use for the new Parliament building will be found after regime change in 2024.

Even by the lowest standards of the Congress Party, this is a pathetic mindset. This is nothing but an insult to the aspirations of 140 crore Indians. In any case, this isn’t the first time Congress is anti-Parliament. They tried in 1975 and it failed miserably”, he added.
