Central Vista is bad optics but necessary. Things need to move forward not backward. Hospitals can also be constructed but Central Vista is necessary. More Lok Sabha seats are needed. Also more equal number of Rajya Sabha seats must be allocated to each state in the spirit of true federalism.

@email4ady It is not just one parliament building. There are multiple buildings and Govt spaces involved. Current buildings are old and in a very shabby state. You need to spend where you need to spend.

@email4ady Yes as per me he does. Satisfied? Now proceed to spread your propaganda elsewhere. You guys i.e You, Modi, Rahul Gandhi, Kejriwal, Mamata are all the same. You guys know nothing about development or economics. ALL PROPAGANDA> No wonder Governments change in India but nothing else changes in India.

@slashybluesy Productive Infra? People in India always think of life in Germany and New Zealand. Of course, it is better. They have the best healthcare and very little poverty if at all any but why? They have a tax-to-GDP ratio of 35% (In India it is 10.5%). They have resources and Industrial corridors. India on the other hand have an unstable policy and Industrialization is frowned upon. POSCO signed an MoU in 2005 to start a steel plant in India, till today they haven't got their land. The MoU also expired. From where development will come? You can easily develop hinterlands of UP and Bihar if you can set up rail corridors and connect them to ports of Kolkata and Surat but do we have the political will to do that? NOPE. No party has that willingness neither Congress nor BJP nor regional parties because all are concerned about losing votes. THAT IS THE STATE OF PRODUCTIVE INFRA FOR YOU. IT IS A NON-STARTER. NO Country can progress with such a lax attitude towards development. I can understand that NE, Kerala, Goa, parts of Karnataka, Odisha, MP and Maharashtra are ecologically sensitive regions but what about the rest of India? Also, being ecological sensitive is no excuse for lack of progress. Why couldn't Kerala become an IT or Educational or Financial hub? Ditto for other ecologically sensitive states. You will accuse me of shifting the Goalpost but this is the state of affairs in India. I don't care if CENTRAL VISTA is vanity or vermin. It is still work, unlike your so-called PRODUCTIVE INFRA that gets CAUGHT UP AND BURIED UNDER RED TAPES. India needs to embrace Keynesian economics.

@slashybluesy That would be one way to put it. Like everything else in the country today it depends on a person's political ideology. Those who hate Modi will call Central Vista, his lavish bungalow (without realizing the fact that it would not be his permanent residence). His supporters will go tooth and nail to defend it. I would prefer a rail corridor aimed at Inustrializing UP and Bihar but I know for a fact that it would take forever to acquire land. I also know that farmers are sacred in this country. It does not matter if they live in abject poverty and are cheated on a daily basis by the Middlemen but attempting to change this is blasphemy of the highest order. Land acquisition bill and farm laws show that Indians themselves don't want to change. Indians fear capitalism so much that they will become slaves to politicians and remain in poverty by growing rice and wheat but won't prefer to switch. Science and Engineering in India is a scam. Govt should declare first-hand that it will not allow steel plants and semi-conductors. That way at least our children know that they have no jobs with Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical engineering.

@slashybluesy Time is the currency of the modern world. See China's Belt and Road initiative (BRI). See the number of projects they conducted in record time. Had POSCO approached China, they would have completed setting up of factories within a year. Our system is horrible. Now Odisha Govt has signed MoU with Arcelor Mittal whose track record on the environment is worse than that of POSCO. Anyways, discussion on India is pointless. You suggested a compromise. Have you ever seen any compromise work? What happened with Nandigram? People rewarded the anti-Industrialist with a 3rd term now. Same thing with farmer protests. There is a video of Rakesh Tikait praising these laws in July and then taking a U-turn. Everyone has political motives. Nobody thinks about the country. Our leaders ace in manipulating our countrymen. Like with everything else BJP left things too late. I don't think much will change in the next 3 years.
