Claim: TATA is building the New Parliament at a cost of only 1 rupee (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-04-03)
Evidence (2023-04-03): Tata Projects Limited secured the contract to construct the new Parliament building for Rs. 861.9 crores. However, in January 2022, CPWD estimated an increase in the cost of construction by 29% to a little over 1200 crore rupees. Hence, the cost of construction is borne by the government, i.e. tax payers money. Further, the building, for which foundation stone was laid in December 2020, is yet to be completed. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.

Evidence (2023-06-21): As Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the United States and addresses U.S. Congress this week, Americans generally regard India favorably. But many have never heard of Modi, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted March 20-26, 2023. Those who have heard of the Indian leader tend to lack confidence in him. Ahead of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the United States in June 2023, Pew Research Center analyzed Americans’ knowledge and views of India and its leader. For this analysis, we surveyed 3,576 U.S. adults from from March 20 to March 26, 2023. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center’s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories. Read more about the ATP’s methodology. [...] When it comes to India’s prime minister, a substantial share in the U.S. (40%) say they have never heard of him. Americans under 30 are particularly likely to say they do not know who Modi is (59%). In comparison, 28% of U.S. adults 65 and older say the same. Adults with less education are also more likely than those with higher levels of education to have never heard of Modi.

Evidence (2023-06-16): Narendra Modi was once shunned by the U.S. In 2005, the then-chief minister of the Indian state of Gujarat was denied a diplomatic visa amid accusations he tacitly supported Hindu mobs during communal violence three years earlier that left more than a thousand people, most of them Muslim, dead. [...] A survey on Indian American attitudes conducted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and YouGov in 2020 found that Indian Americans held broadly favorable views of Modi, with nearly half approving of his performance as Prime Minister. Milan Vaishnav, director of the South Asia Program at Carnegie, says that this might be because the Indian diaspora sees Modi as "reclaiming India’s rightful status on the global scene." [...] The controversial Indian leader—who is poised to win his third term next year—has been accused of aggressively championing a Hindu-nationalist agenda that critics say reinvents the very idea of India as a pluralist, secular democracy to a religious, nationalist autocracy. Under Modi’s leadership, India has passed discriminatory laws that have alienated nearly 200 million Muslims; squashed dissent by jailing journalists, activists, and civil society organizations; and exercised judicial influence against his political opponents (notably, Rahul Gandhi, the de facto leader and scion of the Gandhi-Nehru family at the helm of the opposition Congress Party).
