Controversy Surrounds Modi's Inauguration of New Parliament Building in India

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate India's new parliament building in New Delhi on Sunday, part of a controversial $2.4 billion revamp of the capital's historic center that his critics have called a "vanity project." The impending opening has become a flashpoint in the ongoing political and cultural war between Modi and his opponents, who accuse the populist leader of being "authoritarian" and "undemocratic." The new triangular parliament building is part of a major overhaul of New Delhi's colonial-era administrative center dubbed the Central Vista Redevelopment Project.
