Thread on, Why #CentralVista was needed?

Do you know about our former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram lived with his wife in the house owned by his wife... And claimed its rent  from the govt every month for 10 years?

And the rental amount was 20 lakhs per month !! Image
Do you know why a new secretariat called 'VISTA' is being built in New Delhi at an estimated cost of 975 Crores?

Read on. There are 30 to 40  secretariats in New Delhi belonging to the various ministries. All of them are situated in rented accommodations.
The rental value of EACH Secretariat is a whopping 20-25 CRORES!! And most of these buildings are owned by either Congress leaders or Communist Comrades!! 

You can calculate the total rent of all these buildings which is regularly being paid to these 'owners', thus draining out
around 500 crores every year !!!!

This, exactly, is the reason that the central govt plans to shift all these Secretariats to one huge complex called VISTA. Apart from saving the huge rental expenditure on the exchequer, it saves on logistics for files and personnel to move from
one secretariat to another on duty. Saves movement time too!

As you can see the entire cost of construction of the new VISTA Complex would be recovered in just TWO years' period.

The proposed complex is strongly opposed by the Congress & Communist leaders because they
would lose the easy money which the central govt was paying them towards rent. Hence they filed their objections in the Supreme Court !!!

But the Supreme Court was wise enough to understand the logic and dismissed the appeal as superfluous and untenable, also imposing a fine of
One lakh rupees on them and warning those who indulged in such superfluous appeals.

Now we can appreciate the need for the centralised Secretariat VISTA which is under construction.
