Yes, as per speaker suggestion we may have a chance to view new building of Parliament house.
Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said that, India needs a new Parliament building as the current one is in great “distress.”
Sumitra suggested her decision to Urban development minister Venkaiah Naidu. The MoUd (Ministry of Urban Development) spokesperson Aishwar Rao said that a letter suggesting new building for parliament has been reached to Venkaiah Naidu.
In her letter, Ms. Mahajan has said that, “a structure more spacious and technologically advanced than the current one should be built either within the Parliament building or outside it across the Rajpath.”
“On account of ageing of the Parliament House building and expansion in activities, staff etc, the building has shown signs of distress and overutilisation... Under the circumstances, there is an imperative need for the construction of a new state-of-art Parliament building,” she says in the letter.
Ministry officials said the matter would be discussed with the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs as well as with the Union Cabinet.
Ms. Mahajan has said that, “the Lok Sabha seats are likely to increase after 2026 “in accordance with the provisions of the explanation to clause (3) Article 81 of the Constitution. Since the current building has the capacity for 550 members, there is no space left for more members.”
