TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Slamming the Centre over its Central Vista project, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday said that at a time when people are grappling with the shortage of oxygen and vaccines in the country, it would be better if the government deploys all resources in saving lives instead of building a new house for the prime minister.
Her attack on the government came over reports that the Central Public Works Department has informed a government-appointed expert panel that the construction of the prime minister’s residence under the ambitious Central Vista project will be completed by December 2022.
“At a time when the people of the country are struggling with shortage of oxygen, vaccines, hospital beds, medicines, it would be better if the government deploys all resources in saving the lives of the people, instead of building a new house for the PM at Rs 13,000 crore,” Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.
