Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on May 07 criticised the central government for going ahead with the central vista project, amid the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. In a tweet he wrote, “Central Vista is criminal wastage. Put people's lives at the centre- not your blind arrogance to get a new house!” Calling his statement “unfortunate,” BJP national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said, “The country is fighting against Covid-19 and it is a time to come together and fight. But Congress does not want to miss any opportunity; they want to weaken this fight. Rahul Gandhi daily brings up the Central Vista issue; he should know that how much the government is spending into health sector. It’s unfortunate that he is raising such issues.”
