On Wednesday, Patel, speaking at The Indian Express Idea Exchange, said the Central Vista redevelopment project is expected to be finished by 2024, which is the deadline set for his firm. Patel said the PM wanted to ensure the project is “not stuck endlessly”. “I’ve worked with him in the past, so I’m not surprised,” he said.

Patel said the facade of the new Parliament will be made of Agra red sandstone, like the rest of the structures. “This is not a break from the past; this is in fact taking the past and working with it,” he said.1
