Bhopal: Questioning the justification for the proposed construction of the new parliament building under the Central Vista project, Member of the Upper House Digvijay Singh said on Monday that Narendra Modi government has enough money for this project amid Coronavirus crisis. But on the demand of Congress to bring minimum income to the accounts of the poor, he allegedly talks about the financial crisis.

Singh told presspersons here, "I do not understand the rationale for the project to build a new parliament building. We are completely opposed this project." Former Madhya Pradesh CM Digvijay said, "The Modi government is citing lack of money in everything in the name of Corona crisis. Leave aside, the fund of MP Local Area Development Scheme (MPLAD) has also been withheld for two years. "

Singh further said, "The Congress had demanded that the Modi government implement the Minimum Income Guarantee Scheme (justice) to directly transfer funds to the account of the poor. The government does not have the money for this work. He has a lot of money to lend and build a new parliament building. " Endorsing the 'Bharat Bandh' called by farmers on Tuesday, Singh said, "PM Modi talks of doubling farmers' income by 2022, but crops like wheat, paddy and maize are selling below minimum support price (MSP) "
