"PM Modi inaugurates new parliament building amidst controversy"
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new parliament building in New Delhi, which is part of his government's plan to give a makeover to the British colonial-era architecture in the capital. The event was boycotted by 20 opposition parties who claimed that Modi had violated protocol. The new parliament complex has a total of 1,272 seats in two chambers, nearly 500 more than the old building, and at least three times as much space to accommodate new lawmakers in the world's most populous nation.
