Like playing DJ music in funeral ground: Cong on Parliament project

New Delhi, Dec 10 (IANS): With Prime Minister Narendra Modi laying the foundation stone of new Parliament building here on Thursday, the Congress flayed the move as "playing DJ music in a funeral ground" and claimed that various institutions were getting "devalued".

"The decision to lay the foundation stone of the new building is heartless, senseless and shameless, at a time when the nation is going through economic recession. The BJP instead of giving concession is taking out extravagant procession," remarked Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill.

"This act is equivalent to playing DJ music inside a funeral ground. On one hand, the BJP through black farm laws has run a bulldozer over farmers' livelihood and on the other it is spending public money on constructing buildings that are not needed but merely to satisfy its ego," he added.

Shergill claimed that the act of laying the foundation stone of new Parliament building as part of an ambitious Central Vista plan was like "opening a cake shop after snatching the bread from the farmers."

Congress Chief Spokesman Randeep Singh Surjewala said: "Dear PM, Parliament is not mortar and stones; it envisions democracy, imbibes Constitution, economic-political-social equality, compassion and camaraderie. It is the aspirations of 130 crore Indians."

"What will a building built by trampling these values represent?" he asked.

The Congress has been opposing the Central Vista project and sought its scrapping.

Modi on Thursday laid the foundation stone of the new Parliament building and also performed its 'Bhoomi Pujan'. The four-storeyed building over 64,500 square metres would cost Rs 971 crore.

    I think BJP govt is utilising all the funds and spending it as there is none to question. People are facing death including farmers and instead of heeling their needs bjp govt is going to spend thousands of crore to build parliament building. I hope the project will include lavish apartners to PM + president and chelas of PM. PM has acquired new plane which cost crores of dollars. On the other hand bjp is going to snatch bread from poor farmers and giving it to industrialists who are supporting bjp. Thus bji is going to sell everthing before he finishes his PM term. I could not understand why public is not agitating for senseless and useless spending by bjp. Karnataka govt is also after unnecessary issues and it is passing Bill withut consulting oposition. I dont think our economy will come to the level it was before bjp govt. bjp govt is only lookign for benefit of industrialists who provide finance to bjp.
