India's New Parliament Building: A Symbol of Controversy and Progress.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a new Parliament complex in New Delhi, part of a $2 billion project to revamp the colonial-era center of government. However, the ceremony was boycotted by the opposition, who accused Modi of overreach and undermining India's constitutional democracy. The inauguration was held under tight security, as female wrestlers who have been camped out in protest for more than a month in central Delhi had vowed to hold a march the same day. The new complex, built for about $120 million, incorporates the latest technology and expands seating to 888 in the main chamber of the lower house.
