Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation stone of the new building in December 2020. Last month, he unveiled the national emblem cast on the roof of the building. The Centre plans to hold the 2022 Winter Session of Parliament in the new building.
The Telangana Legislative Assembly today adopted two resolutions urging the Centre to name the new Parliament building in New Delhi after BR Ambedkar, and opposing the new Electricity Amendment Bill 2022 proposed by the Union government.
State IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao, who moved the resolution, said it would be appropriate to name the newly-constructed Parliament building after BR Ambedkar, who is the architect of the Constitution.
State Energy Minister G Jagadish Reddy moved the resolution on opposing the Electricity Bill.
The Bill is against the interests of farmers, poorer sections, and the employees of power sector, he said.
