Rahul gandhi, the congress leader, slammed the Centre over the Central Vista scheme, a reconstruction plan to construct a new parliament and a central secretariat. On twitter, he termed the project as criminal wastage and gandhi posted, "Put people's lives first- not your blind arrogance to get a new home!" As the world grapples with the crippling effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, gandhi and congress have urged the government to put the initiative on hold and focus on developing medical facilities. The number of cases has risen to alarming levels in the region, putting a strain on the healthcare system. The environment ministry's expert assessment committee released its report earlier this week.

The construction of the new parliament is expected to be finished in november 2022. Opposition groups and politicians have voiced their displeasure with this. A petition has also been lodged in the delhi high court, requesting that the building in Central Vista be halted immediately at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. workers are exposed to the infection on a "regular basis while working, and that too without compensation," according to the study.

The initiative has been classified as an "essential service," allowing it to avoid lockout limits in the nation's capital, which has been heavily impacted by the pandemic. The government will spend about Rs.13,450 crore on the makeover, which includes the building of a common Central secretariat and the renovation of a roughly 3.5-kilometre stretch between the Rashtrapati Bhavan and the india Gate.
