Two days before its official inauguration by PM Narendra Modi, the government of India on May 26, 2023, released photos for the first look of the new Parliament building in New Delhi. The building, which stands adjacent to the existing Parliament House, is designed by Ahmedabad-based HCP Design, Planning, and Management under the architect Bimal Patel. Soon after the release of the photos, PM Modi took to Twitter to share the video and encouraged the citizens to re-tweet the video with their “own voice-over” to share their thoughts on the new Parliament building. He wrote, “The new Parliament building will make every Indian proud. This video offers a glimpse of this iconic building. I have a special request- share this video with your own voice-over, which conveys your thoughts. I will re-tweet some of them. Don’t forget to use #MyParliamentMyPride.”The new Parliament building is spread across an area of 64,500 sq. m. and will be able to house 888 parliamentarians in the Lok Sabha, and 300 more in the Rajya Sabha, up from the existing 543 and 250, respectively. The building is said to use modern technology that includes biometrics for ease of voting, digital language interpretation and translation systems, and programmable microphones.
The foundation stone of the new Parliament building was laid by Prime Minister Modi on December 10, 2020, with its construction beginning in January 2021.
