Dear MEL Topic Readers,
New parliament: PM Modi inaugurates building amid opposition boycott
India is the world’s largest democratic country. In the last general election in 2019, there were over 900 million registered voters and a little over 600 million voters cast their votes to elect 543 representatives of the Lok Sabha (House of the People). Also, there is the Rajya Sabha (the Council of States) which consists of 250 elected and appointed members. Each of the houses has equal footing in most of the legislation but in the case of conflicting legislation, a joint setting can be held. Indeed, India’s parliament building is where decisions and legislation are made for the world’s most populous country. Now, a new parliament building was inaugurated in New Delhi on May 18 by Prime Minister Modi, not the President, not President Murmu, the head of state. It has the capacity to seat 1,272 members of the parliament, way more than the combined number of both houses. The prime minister said the new parliament building is the temple of India’s democracy and it's giving the message of India's determination to the world. However, the inauguration ceremony was criticized by many. Why?
