NEW DELHI: As PM Modi inaugrated the much anticipated new Parliament building on Sunday, opposition Congress ripped into the BJP Leader calling the event a ‘coronation ceremony’.
Rahul Gandhi taking a dig at the Bhajpa supremo said, “PM considering the inauguration of the Parliament House as a coronation”. The Congress leader, a vocal critic of the Modi government, also termed the Parliament the ‘voice of the people’.
संसद लोगों की आवाज़ है!
प्रधानमंत्री संसद भवन के उद्घाटन को राज्याभिषेक समझ रहे हैं।

Congress’s general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh in his latest Twitter post called PM Modi ‘self-absored dictatorial prime minister who hates parliamentary procedures’ and again stepped up his attack on the saffron camp for not allowing President Droupadi Murmu to inaugurate the new Parliament house.
Several opposition leaders also launched a scathing attack on BJPs move today. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) drew a comparison of the architecture of the new Parliament building to a coffin. The comparison received a stinging reply from the BJP which said people will bury the Bihar party in such a coffin in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
The NCP expresses dissapointment over bereaving India’s President Droupadi Murmu of the inaugration rights. The Shiv Sena (UBT) claimed the inauguration of the new Parliament building by ignoring President Murmu was not in accordance with tradition and protocol.
Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya on Sunday targeted the Narendra Modi government by claiming that only “fundamentalist Brahmin gurus” were invited for the installation of the sengol, as reported by media houses.
