New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated the new Parliament building in New Delhi. Several opposition parties had boycotted the event demanding that the inauguration be done by the President. The RJD had also made a controversial tweet about the design of the new Parliament building. Meanwhile, TMC MP Jawahar Sircar and Congress leader Digvijay Singh said about the new Parliament building that its design has been copied from the old Parliament of the African country Somalia.
Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sarkar tweeted that Modi's 'pet' architect from Gujarat has charged Rs 230 crore for imitating Somalia's old parliament. "Somalia has rejected its old Parliament, it is an inspiration for new India! Modi's pet architect from Gujarat – who always gets Modi's mega contracts through competitive bidding" (in Ahmedabad, Varanasi, Delhi's Parliament + Central Vista) charged us Rs 230 crore for copying Somalia's design." Retweeting Sarkar's tweet, Congress MP Digvijaya Singh tagged PM Modi and wrote, "Can you believe that the Parliament building rejected by Somalia is the inspiration of our Prime Minister."
Digvijay wrote, "Full numbers to Jawahar Sarkar. Can you believe that the Parliament building rejected by Somalia is an inspiration for our PM Modi? Tagging the PMC, the Congress leader has demanded that the copy cat recover Rs 230 crore from the architect. Earlier, RJD had also raised questions about its design. The RJD had tweeted comparing the new Parliament building to a coffin and asked what it was. However, later it was clarified by RJD that his tweet was misinterpreted. Through the tweet, the RJD had asked whether democracy is being locked in a coffin and its temple is being inaugurated. At the same time, the BJP reacted strongly to this tweet, saying that this tweet will prove to be the last nail in the coffin of your politics.
