Central government inaugurated the new Parliament building
Today, the Central government inaugurated the new Parliament building, an event that was met with mixed reactions. The Rashtriya Janta Dal compared the building to a coffin, expressing their discontent. Additionally, several opposition leaders, including Supriya Sule and Asaduddin Owaisi, raised concerns about the ceremony, criticizing the lack of opposition presence during the launch.
During the inauguration, Prime Minister Modi unveiled the plaque to signify the opening of the new Parliament building. He performed a puja and placed the sacred ‘Sengol’ in the Lok Sabha chamber, next to the Speaker’s chair.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla was also present alongside PM Modi during the puja.
