Central Vista will help enhance government’s efficiency, says market analyst Deepak Talwar
The Supreme Court’s decision to clear the redevelopment plan for Central Vista is a boon for the government that aims to club all its ministries in a single zone to increase efficiency, a senior market analyst has said.
Seasoned market analyst Deepak Talwar said that the move will not be a boon for Prime Minister Narendra Modi but also for the BJP-led NDA government which got the clearance from a Supreme Court bench comprising Hon’ble Justices A M Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and Sanjiv Khanna.
“The opposition has voiced its disdain for the Central Vista Project but the move will help India attain global status. Across the world, all governments keep their ministries close to each other. It helps improve the efficiency of the government. The same is happening in India,” said Talwar.
He said that he was amazed at the protests by the opposition political parties which went to the apex court to stop the government. “This is a harmless exercise of rebuilding the central vista of the national capital. This will be a permanent legacy in Lutyens’s backyard.
His opponents can’t stomach the fact that Modi will leave a grander legacy on the architectural front than Cambridge-educated Jawaharlal Nehru, the first and last prime minister to have shown interest in the field,” said Deepak Talwar.
Talwar said that it is interesting that the NDA government has bet huge on infrastructure. It is building expressways, airports, and naval ports, modernizing railway stations, launching high-speed railways and laying tracks for a bullet train, revamping heritage sites, including India’s temple towns from Varanasi to Ayodhya to Kedarnath to Dwarka to Hampi, reconstructing scores of government buildings, including the new Parliament, and the residences of the PM and the Vice President, among other projects.
