Modi opponents boycott opening of new parliament building as PM reshapes India's power corridor

Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, left, with speaker of the lower house Om Birla greet after installing a royal golden sceptre near the chair of the speaker during the start of the inaugural ceremony of the new parliament building, in New Delhi, India, Sunday, May 28, 2023. The new triangular parliament building, built at an estimated cost of $120 million, is part of a $2.8 billion revamp of British-era offices and residences in central New Delhi called "Central Vista", even as India's major opposition parties boycotted the inauguration of a new parliament building by Modi, in a rare show of unity against the Hindu nationalist ruling party that has completed nine years in power and is seeking a third term in crucial general elections next year.
