evidence: The new Parliament building, whose foundation stone will be laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 10, will likely be ready by 2022, Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla said on Saturday, adding that the Parliament session in that year will hopefully be held at the new building. [...] Making this announcement at a press conference Saturday, Birla said, "We started the journey of independent India in the old building, and when we complete 75 years, we will have the session of both Houses in the new Parliament building… It will not be a building of bricks and stones, it will be the fulfilment of the dreams of 130 crore people." [...] Tata Projects Limited won the bid to construct the new Parliament building, close to the existing one, at a cost of Rs 861.90 crore under the Central Vista redevelopment project in September this year.
