PM Modi Pays Tributes To “Every Brick” Of Old Building
“Today we are taking leave from here and heading to the new Parliament building. This is auspicious as today is Ganesh Chaturthi,” PM Modi said before turning towards the speakers of both the houses.
The iconic building was completed in 1927, and is now 96 years old. It was found to be inadequate for present day requirements.
While speaking in Lok Sabha on Monday, Modi paid tributes to “every brick” of the old building and said the MPs will enter the new building with “new hope and confidence”.
