“UPA government initiated the project of new Parliament building with a cost of Rs. 3000 crores back in 2012”
What FACTLY found
While it is true that former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar has accorded approval to the proposal for construction of a new Parliament building, these deliberations did not reach the stage of estimating the project cost and allocation of funds. The amount of Rs. 3000 crores, the purported cost of new Parliament building, estimated during the UPA regime as claimed is a fictitious number
