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, 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.
