Puri hits back at Congress for attacking govt over Central Vista redevelopment project

The accusation comes hours after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticised the Narendra Modi government for executing the project.

Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday hit back at the Congress for attacking the government over its Central Vista redevelopment project, saying the party's discourse is "bizarre" as its leaders themselves had supported the idea when the UPA was in power. The accusation comes hours after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticised the Narendra Modi government for executing the project, terming it a "criminal wastage" while asking the dispensation to focus on people's lives during the Covid-19 pandemic.
