Congress’s discourse on Central Vista is bizarre.
Cost of Central Vista is about ₹20,000 crore, over several years.
GoI has allocated nearly twice that amount for vaccination! India’s healthcare budget for just this year was over ₹3 lakh crore. We know our priorities.
There are hundreds of projects being executed by various depts. Governance hasn’t come to a standstill, unlike the Congress’s times of policy paralysis.
Central Vista is just another ongoing project. It’s only the Congress that’s obsessed about it, nobody else.
Moreover, only projects for New Parliament Building & rejuvenation of Central Vista Avenue have been awarded at an estimated cost of ₹862 crore & ₹477 crore respectively till now.
As I said, there are many components in Central Vista project which are spread over several years
They want to distract people from monumental governance failures in their states by spreading lies. So they indulge in cheap politics despite knowing this project creates direct & indirect employment for thousands of skilled, semi-skilled & unskilled workers in these times.
While Central Vista is not new, see Congress’ hypocrisy.
Congress & its allies are splurging on a new project reconstructing an MLA hostel in Maharashtra & building a new Legislative Assembly building in Chhattisgarh. If this is fine, what is the problem with Central Vista?
Congress doesn’t stop at hypocrisy. Look at their shameful double face.
During UPA, Congress leaders wrote about the need for a new parliament. The Speaker in 2012 wrote a letter to Urban Development Ministry for the same.
And now they have the gall to oppose the same project?

India’s rapidly growing energy sector takes a historic step into the future with the landmark amendments to Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Act 1948 being successfully passed in Rajya Sabha today.
The epochal amendments proposed will further strengthen and propel India’s energy sector under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji, and ensure policy stability, international arbitration, extended lease periods etc.

Landmark amendments to Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Act 1948.
Since petroleum (crude oil/ natural gas) is found in the pore spaces of subsurface rocks and is extracted by drilling delinking of terms like ‘mine’ ‘quarried’ or ‘excavated’ as referred to in the current Act will remove ambiguity and introduce Ease of Doing Business into the sector which is more technologically driven.
Landmark amendments to Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Act 1948.
The term ‘mineral oil’ is traditionally understood to be natural gas and petroleum. As unconventional hydrocarbon resources have been discovered and developed, the definition needs to be updated to reflect the modern understanding of the term.
A senior Advocate, like some other colleagues from his party, desperately tries to create a false narrative. Facts are otherwise. PMAY(Urban) was launched in June 2015. The demand assessed by state govts was initially at 1 crore houses & was subsequently revised to 1.22 crore.
62 lakh houses are completed & delivered. Balance are at various stages of construction will be completed soon. Fact is that 40 lakh houses were sanctioned in just the last two years alone. On average a house takes 18-24 months to complete.
Compare this with the UPA Govt’s abysmal performance & policy paralysis. In 10 years of UPA govt from 2004-2014, a paltry 8.04 lakh houses were completed. Compare 62 lakh & counting in just 7 years with Congress Govt’s 8 lakh in 10 years & you know what false narrative is.
Policy reforms focused on scaling up E&P by generating geological data, award of exploration blocks, ease of doing business & bringing back major E&P companies as well as encouraging new E&P companies set rolling since 2016.
Area under exploration to increase from 3.15 lakh sqkm to 5 lakh sqkm by 2025 - from 8% to 15%.
‘No Go’ Area of Navy reduced by almost 99% : from 5,94,491 sqkm to only 6,987 sqkm. Similar decisions with Space & @DRDO_India soon.
This makes possible a campaign for generating geological data for entire EEZ of 2.36 million sq km. Geological data collected in Andaman & Nicobar already completed for 2.8 lakh sq km, through special arrangement with @indiannavy. Already attracting international E&P companies.
Taking forward PM Sh @narendramodi Ji’s vision for the development of North East Region & to energize the Socio-Economic Progress of NER, I am very happy to announce that the capacity of Digboi Refinery of @IndianOilcl will be augmented from 0.65 to 1.0 MMTPA. @himantabiswa
This was a long pending demand of the people & govt of Assam. Had also discussed it at length with Assam CM Sh @himantabiswa Ji during my visit to Guwahati in Feb 2022 for the North East Zonal Conference for #PMGatiShakti addressed by PM Modi Ji.
This decision aims to utilize the additional NE Crude to be produced by upstream oil companies in the region & will enable India’s historic first refinery at Digboi to maximize its LPG, Petrol, Diesel & Paraffin Wax production in a significant fillip to the local economy.
Lies succeed in travelling halfway round the world before the truth is able to get up & tie its shoelaces. Recently AAP leader Atishi Ji absurdly suggested that Centre & its agencies were on the verge of bulldozing temples!
I suggest the MLA educate herself. The Religious Committee which takes decisions on such matters is under Delhi Govt. Land owning agencies only determine if govt land is being encroached upon. Even that is not final- there are systemic mechanisms in place.
The Religious Committee under a senior official of Delhi Govt, has already met twice on 26 & 29 April. A joint inspection was carried out on 27 April under its directions. The MLA does not appear to be aware of her own Govt’s actions as she manufactures a fake narrative.
PM @narendramodi Ji is truly a 'Yugpurush' not been constrained by the challenges around him but has dared to define this age & shape the destiny of our nation for the best. He is a true Rakshak, determined to ensure Surakshit Bharat in every way against terrorism & aggression.
His Stithpragya calm, courage & commitment and determined action in the face of constant carping by naysayers has enabled India to come out of the agni pariksha posed by the vicious pandemic.
A 'Daridra Narayan' who genuinely empathises with the poor & designs his schemes & missions with ‘Sarvodaya through Antyodaya' as his guiding principle. A leader who transcends family, caste, religion, region & considers all of India his one family - Bharataiva Kutumbakam.
