• The new Parliament House is a reflection of the aspirations of the new India. I congratulate all the countrymen for this golden moment of Indian democracy:


• This is not just a building. It is a reflection of the aspirations and dreams of 140 crore Indians. This is the temple of our democracy giving the message of India's determination to the world.


• This building is equipped with modern facilities and equipped with the latest gadgets. It has given employment to over 60,000 labourers. We have created a digital gallery to honour their hard work.


• There was a need for new Parliament. We also have to see that the number of seats and MPs will increase in the coming time. That's why it was the need of the hour that a new Parliament is made.


• When India moves forward, the world moves forward. This new building of the Parliament will call for the development of the world along with the development of India.


• Whenever proceedings begin in this Parliament House, Sengol will continue to inspire us all. It is our good fortune that we have been able to restore the pride of the holy 'Sengol'. 


• India is not only a democratic nation but also the mother of democracy. Our democracy is our inspiration, our constitution is our resolve. The best representative of this inspiration, this resolution, is our Parliament.


• From Panchayat Bhawan to Sansad Bhawan, our inspiration is the development of our country and its people. Today, as we are proud of the construction of this new Parliament, it also gives me immense satisfaction when I think about the construction of homes for 4 crore poor people and 11 crore toilets in the country in the last 9 years.


• When we talk about modern facilities in the new Parliament, I feel content we have constructed over 4 lakh kilometres of roads to connect villages in the country.


• After slavery, India started its new journey after losing a lot. That journey has gone through many ups and downs, overcoming many challenges, and has entered the golden age of freedom.


• Several years of foreign rule stole our pride from us. Today, India has left behind that colonial mindset. India is the mother of democracy. It is also the foundation of global democracy. Democracy is our 'Sanskaar', idea and tradition


• We have 25 years of golden period. Together we have to make India a developed nation in these 25 years.


• I am sure, the people's representatives who will sit in this Parliament, with new inspiration, will try to give a new direction to democracy.


• This new building of the Parliament will become the basis for the creation of a new India.


• People of India have given themselves a gift for the Amrit Mahotsav.


• This new Parliament building connects planning to reality, policy to realization, willpower to execution, and sankalp to siddhi.


• This will be a medium for realizing the dreams of the freedom fighters. It will witness the sunrise of Aatmnirbhar Bharat and will see the realization of a Viksit Bharat. This new building is an example of the coexistence of ancient and modern.


• We will have to move with a spirit of  - Nation First.  We will have to keep the path of duty above all. We will have to be an example with our conduct while constantly improving ourselves. We will have to tread our own path.


• We witness the spirit of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat in every particle of this building.


• PM Modi said while our Shramjivis have made the Parliament so grand, it is the responsibility of the Parliamentarians to make it divine with their dedication.


• Every brick, every wall, every particle of this new Parliament House will be dedicated to the welfare of the poor.
