“Paper leaks outside , water leaks inside!” Taking a jibe at the ‘weather resilience’ of the new parliament building, a Congress MP from Tamil Nadu’s Virudhunagar constituency filed an adjournment motion amid water leak inside the premises of the Parliament House, built at a staggering cost of about Rs 1000 crore! A short clip shared by the MP shows water leaking from the Parliament’s dome, as an official places a big tub/garbage bin. Another visual doing the rounds on social media is the waterlogged area outside the main building of Parliament House. The new building replaced the old parliament house ‘Samvidhan Bhavan’ that was constructed between 1921 and 1927 by renowned British architect Edwin Luyens along with Herbert Baker. Meanwhile, the newer parliament building was built between 2020 and 2023 under the current regime’s ambitious Central Vista Redevelopment Project. The building was inaugurated by PM Modi with much fanfare on May 28, 2023. Like an activation event, the unveiling of the new building hosted content creators, right leaning influencers, actors, and others. Designed to be earthquake proof with a lifespan of 150 years, the new parliament building’s domed glass roof makes for a good shower for politicians who avoid one.

Opposition parties and leaders lambasted the government over the shoddy management and infrastructure of the Parliament House.
इस नई संसद से अच्छी तो वो पुरानी संसद थी, जहाँ पुराने सांसद भी आकर मिल सकते थे। क्यों न फिर से पुरानी संसद चलें, कम-से-कम तब तक के लिए, जब तक अरबों रुपयों से बनी संसद में पानी टपकने का कार्यक्रम चल रहा है।

When our ‘new’ parliament building is water-logged, what chance do we the citizens have?
