"This Is Country's Parliament, Not Of A Person": Minister Counters Criticism

Backing the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture Meenakshi Lekhi took a jibe at Congress' decision to boycott it. She alleged that the new building has been constructed at a much lower cost than what was proposed in Congress' regime. "It was decided during the Congress rule that the country needed a new parliament. Their budget for that was above Rs 3,500 crore. This Parliament building has been built for about 300 crores. It is clear that these people were engaged in making it a big means of corruption… This is the country's Parliament, not the Parliament of any person," Meenakshi Lekhi said.
