Sir, Requesting you to cover Whitehat Jr. defamation case to Pradeep Poonia and Anirudh Malpani, it will be great for viewers to get more information on this.
Haven't been a regular here lately, but talking about Government, I have a question for SG. @SG - I had this hunch when Sushil Modi was transferred to Delhi, that he'd be the new FM of India. Think just after the "Khar-maas", Jan 14th. Do you think it can happen? My previous hunches have all been spot on! Would tell you later about them. BTW, emails to your Print mailbox are bouncing with mailer-demons.
I would simply like to point out one small correction. As someone for Chandigarh, Mr Gupta may be forgiven for thinking Chandigarh is the only planned city to have been built in modern India, that is not the case. The capital city of Odisha was also built as a planned city pretty much around the same period as Chandigarh itself. While Bhubaneswar may not have the sense of wonder or style that Corbusier gave Chandigarh, it none the less was a planned city. Similarly, if one is to grant the same status to what was being planned in Amaravti, there have been similar more successful attempts in Naya Raipur and Gandhi Nagar. While Amaravati was probably more grander in thought and vision, the realities of Naya Raipur and Gandhi Nagar as planned "capital areas" near an existing major city deserve to be highlighted more than the khayali pulao of Amaravati. Of course, I am not necessarily disagreeing with your basic point that our cities "suck", but only that there have been a few more attempts to suck less than you have mentioned
@@hm-oh8wz This comment is extremely funny. Is the 8600 crore plane or the 20000 crore palace owned by the one man you speak of? It belongs to the government. It's not his father's property. This is nothing but blind hate.

First thing you realise when you go out of india is that they have planned all their citities. As long as we cannot get our towns and cities planned we will be an everlasting developing country with collective failure to modernise.
In western countries first there is empty land, then there is development plans, then they provide water and electricity, sewer lines, then they start building houses and finally people move into the dwellings. In India, where they are empty land, people start moving in, built huts, and then the city brings in water and electricity and then the builder comes in with development plans.
@Vatsal Bajpai we always find an excuse that we are overpopulated, but so is China. The biggest issue in India starts from a very root level. If Mayor and corporators know what their jobs and duties are 50% of the problems will be solved. But at that very root level, we have goons running the city council, so nothing can be done.
@Vatsal Bajpai Tokyo has the highest population density in the world , and before their economic miracle, the Japanese were poor too. How did they develope so much. We will develop only when we stop giving excuses to ourselves.
@@hm-oh8wz good going .... This is called real IT cell .... Till how much u have copied this Comment who is full of Half Information and Manipulation of Facts .... Check the REAL GDP GROWTH RATE (which includes inflation) , it is the most in Modi tenure , if we take an average of Modi's 6 years ..... In terms of Nominal GDP growth rate , India was the fastest growing Major Economy from 2014-18 ..... U know why Nominal GROWTH RATE was high in MMS tenure dispite high INFLATION ?? Becoz that was not the REAL GDP GROWTH RATE ...... It was Nominal Growth rate which excludes Inflation .... Therefore in MMS 10 years , he was only able to add around 900 Billion $ in ECONOMY while in Modi 6 years tenure , it's around more than 1 trillion $ already .... There was a Slowdown in 2016 , but that didn't affected a lot till 2017-18 as growth was near 7-8% then also .... It was reduced to 5% growth in 2019 .... And now due to complete lockdown and already Slowdown , we faced -23.9% in April-June Quarter ..... However the Economy is Recovering faster than expected and this what said by Oxford , Moody's and Barclays research ..... It's evident from the data ..... Future predictions are really good

I am not against the parliament and secretariat building because of rent and seating capacity. That will only cost 970 crore. But why are buiding new residence for pm which is not required . Only 2000 crore should have been allocated instead of 20000crore. The rest of money can be used in reconstruction of colonies,solving traffic problem in banglore and delhi, building metro from dwarka to gurgaon. They increase medical and IIT fees for middle class people. Building basic infrastructure instead of redeveloping posh areas will hep the common an.

Congress is crying now because Modi will use every single paisa from allocated money to build this project. Congress won't get the opportunity to do a scam out of that money. Missed opportunity for Gandhi's and chamchas.
it is just waste of money. 2000 crore should have been allocated for project for parliament and secretariat building for rent and seating capcity.But they are allocating 20000 crore Instead of reconstructing eastern delhi and northern delhi,they are wasting money for new Pm residence which already had helipads and bulletproof security. They increase fees in medical and IIT for students, cut pension of army but have extra money for redeveloping posh areas. Why mcd never focused on eastern and northern delhi. It is under bjp for more than 11 years. They could used money for reconstructing colonies,solving traffic problem, buliding drainage systems to avoid flooding.
Keynesian economics: When economy is in a downturn, the state should inject capital into the system by undertaking high expenditure projects. Example: Empire State building was built during the depression.
are kuch bhi 🤦🤦 .... Empire State building is a privately owned building not built by the government. Keynesian economics states that government should increase spending on labour intensive projects so more people will get employment and lower the taxes this would in turn increase the demand and boost the economy.
@@buny169 well I guess it depends, but in India, majority construction projects are labour intensive.. The govt is investing in many such projects like the lighthouse project, all the highway projects which have been going on really well, railway projects etc.. This project in particular definitely looks more capital intensive though👀, but then despite the announcement of the project last year, funds were not allocated in the 2020-21 Budget. So, I think it's early to judge😅
Congress could have taken all these monumental decisions instead they waited for Modi to come and he's not letting down any chance to stamp his name in Indian history in whatever way he can.
There is no need for this building. There is a parlimentary report by jaitley which says the current parliment with minior modificationcan easily accomodate 828 MPs . It is a big waste when govt is saying it does not have enough money to vaccinate the whole population. Where is the priority of this govt?

@@bharatendutiwari5596 Chill dude, they cant reply coz they dont have anything to support. If buildings and statues can develop a country, let them try it out. Its a failed way to development. A country is not made by things of attraction, its made by the people. Its a sad reality that people themselves are asking for wastage of their own hard earned money.
For my entire living life, we have indulged in debates and discussions complaining that the government takes too long to decide on anything and it's a waste of tax payers money. This is the first time we are complaining for the reverse scenario. Isn't it a sense of paranoia that's gripping the nation trying to find fire where there is no smoke at all. Give it a thought.
Just because it is a fast decision doesn't mean it is the right decision. We should judge a decision by its correctness not by its speed. Many laws of the Modi government has been fast and bulldozed through. And later they try desperately to prove that it was of any use.
@@emilyganguly149 I totally agree. But do you expect every government decision to be based on public opinion? How is that efficient? Have you ever visited any of these government buildings and observe first hand the state of most of these buildings?
Overall a good explanation, but god help our country when people start complaining that the government is moving too fast in anything, specially in a project they believe is a right one (mind you, it still took over a year to start the construction).
thats all fine but clearance bhi lelete yaar. Also whats with the timing?? Your children are going malnourished! Im pretty sure there are tons of better investments than upgrading the building. If the economy was on the rise and doing well i wouldve totally supported it but redevelopment when your economy is way down, children are malnourished and the city already has hazardous levels of pollution its a no.
@@parthmalani6286 Public infrastructure project is a very good way to get money in economy. Efficient government offices are public infrastructure of high need and construction is a very good employment generator from skilled to semi-skilled and unskilled workforce. Efficient and effective government offices are very important public infrastructure; SG is right the current offices are in very bad shape. Its the difference in mentality of giving fish to eat once or giving a fishing net to give employment. But some people can only look at doles.
@@genesis9chaos they could've supported sectors of msmes with that amount of cash which would've employed way more. One single project in one area of Delhi that costs 20000 crore seriously?

But do we really need this kind of construction when our country is already fighting a pandemic situation, no compensation package given to any citizen, economy all time low hai, unemployment badh rahi hai, world hunger index main hamari halat kharab hai, bacche malnourished hai, hospitals ki halat kharab hai. Kam se kam economy to thik kar lete pehle. Ya fir jo yeh faltu ke statues pe paisa barbaad ho raha hai woh band kar de.
Besides the central Vista project, the government has also taken an appreciable step in starting 6 new lighthouse projects involving modern construction technologies... . I wish that students, teachers and professionals associated with architecture should look into it

Everything in this country becomes a debate - vaccine (produced by one very reputed and strong track record Indian firm although phase 3 results were definitely essential but the opposition instead of pointing its guns on the process, messed up by bringing nonsensical "BJP vaccine"), Rafales (essential for our depleting Air force. It does not matter that questions over Bofors were never answered), and now even Central vista (apparently the timing is wrong). The truth is these decisions were essential. In fact, many were pending from the time of UPA and they were accused of delay.

@Shekhar Gupta Ji: I like when you said about this development in Delhi "This also raises suspicion as it happened very quickly". I think it happened normally, it is just that we are so used to being very slow and anything normal seems quick.
Thorough, excellent summary, Mr Gupta. Congrats! Great point starting at 13:39 regarding Indian cities & major renewal needs - glad you were upfront and honest! One has to be humble and accept what you have summarized so succinctly regarding the "lack of character" of the cities, lack of quality, "overgrown slum nature", "moral resistance to change" and "gated hell". Only, if one accepts that honestly, will change happen towards relevance.
is it only me who sees irony in Indian journalists now complaining about speed with which files are approved for a legitimate project ? Instead of opposing this, should we be asking for making it a norm for normal activities?

Are you kidding me? You mean that "re-developing" probably the richest part of the capital constitutes as redevelopment of the City? You ought to re-evaluate what counts as a city. If the government had so much money to spare, why not spend it on actual slums?
Farm laws related cases in courts is also a matter of policy. Why there are court cases for each and every policy decisions of an elected Majority government in India? Why courts are entertaining these cases? For example why courts are questioning and commenting on why farm laws protests are not resolved yet. Its a matter of policy.
Any infrastructure project in times of economic slump is good. And this is as good or as bad as any other. Even China used infrastructure projects to come out of slump in 2008, building roads which weren't needed. This project too will help boost economy by providing employment, buying of materials etc.
What is 1000Cr expenses for government. Thank Modi that if such project is undertaken by any other party ,they will make it atleast 3000 to 5000 Cr project. SC should not have even entertained such case. SC is sitting duck on middle men strike in Delhi. And who are these activities in any case.
Sekhar forget to mention Gandhinagar, a planned city capital in Modi‘s Gujrat! It was developed in late 70s and by now is a well developed city. Also, Statue of Unity will pay for itself very soon, given the tourist traffic it generates now. So it may look grand but it is in a sense a commercial project.
Some very prominent journalists have criticised Varanasi redevelopment project. Is it due to their pure dislike for Narendra Modi?? Or they just love the nostalgia of existing chaos, mess and dirt??

Dear Mr. Shekhar Gupta, I follow quite regularly your analysis of specific issues that I find educative and informative. In your presentation of Central vista project, how come you did not know or forgot that Bhubaneswar is a planned city and due to that it is rated as number one in smart city projects. Hope you will make good this lacuna in one of your future presentations. Please continue your wonderful work that comes in as a breath of fresh air in today's tv media standards. Thank you.
Mr.SG, I am glad that your unequivocally in favour of urban renewal of Indian cities. During my travel in north India, I have seen that north Indian cities are worse off as compared to south Indian cities, Delhi included. It is common to see tall buildings constructed on small plots, electrical wires dangling precariously over the public's head, not to speak of congestion, drainage problems. Unfortunately, the busybodies in the country interfere with everything be it a temple or a parliament building. They want to sit in judgment over every decision of the governments. The courts themselves have encouraged such people by encouraging petitions after petitions which do not come within the scope of either Article 32 or Article 136. Who can question the supreme court when it commits a legal wrong, except the supreme court itslef? I am glad that the SC has at last realised that they must not interfere with all the policy matters of the Government. Personally, I find it deplorable that we are unable to give up our colonial past. Why should our parliament continue to function in a building constructed by our colonial masters? These projects should have been commenced soon after the independence. But, Nehru nurtured the view that India is a poor country and cannot waste money on these fanciful buildings. Being an Anglophile, he was loath to disturb the British landmarks. At last, we are shedding the colonial burdens.
Not every executive decision can be up for judicial review. If that is the case, abolish parliament, bureaucracy ministers and let supreme court run the country !!! Wrong decision by elected government should get rectified by electoral process not judicial activism. Every road/flyover/airport/railway line/factory and port is delayed due to court cases in an overloaded judiciary.
Mr Shekhar, please leave UPA era of hanging, diverting, delays in govt functions & get acclimatize with Modi style of governance which is even better than corporate style of work.
Again Mr Shekhar U are misplaced on judicial activism while accusing SC on acting upon BCCI & many past cases...while U are conveniently forgetting those past actions were under UPA & Cong rule where all actions are under suspicion due to corrupt legacy. 2nd U also deliberately one important point didn't mention on duo judgement that, all necessary approvals & clearances are just & complies.
Same was with the farm laws, even when the discussion has been going on for 17 years!.. Honestly, I find this government more efficient, whether it is bad decisions or good😂. It remains to see till when this can continue🙃

That's a very polished way of supporting the judgment.

First thing you realise when you go out of india is that they have planned all their citities. As long as we cannot get our towns and cities planned we will be an everlasting developing country with collective failure to modernise.
In western countries first there is empty land, then there is development plans, then they provide water and electricity, sewer lines, then they start building houses and finally people move into the dwellings. In India, where they are empty land, people start moving in, built huts, and then the city brings in water and electricity and then the builder comes in with development plans.

In terms of Nominal GDP growth rate , India was the fastest growing Major Economy from 2014-18 ..... U know why Nominal GROWTH RATE was high in MMS tenure dispite high INFLATION ?? Becoz that was not the REAL GDP GROWTH RATE ...... It was Nominal Growth rate which excludes Inflation .... Therefore in MMS 10 years , he was only able to add around 900 Billion $ in ECONOMY while in Modi 6 years tenure , it's around more than 1 trillion $ already .... There was a Slowdown in 2016 , but that didn't affected a lot till 2017-18 as growth was near 7-8% then also .... It was reduced to 5% growth in 2019 .... And now due to complete lockdown and already Slowdown , we faced -23.9% in April-June Quarter .....

Instead of reconstructing eastern delhi and northern delhi,they are wasting money for new Pm residence which already had helipads and bulletproof security.

Keynesian economics: When economy is in a downturn, the state should inject capital into the system by undertaking high expenditure projects. Example: Empire State building was built during the depression.
are kuch bhi 🤦🤦 .... Empire State building is a privately owned building not built by the government.

Hope you will make good this lacuna in one of your future presentations. Please continue your wonderful work that comes in as a breath of fresh air in today's tv media standards. Thank you.
Mr.SG, I am glad that your unequivocally in favour of urban renewal of Indian cities. During my travel in north India, I have seen that north Indian cities are worse off as compared to south Indian cities, Delhi included. It is common to see tall buildings constructed on small plots, electrical wires dangling precariously over the public's head, not to speak of congestion, drainage problems. Unfortunately, the busybodies in the country interfere with everything be it a temple or a parliament building. They want to sit in judgment over every decision of the governments. The courts themselves have encouraged such people by encouraging petitions after petitions which do not come within the scope of either Article 32 or Article 136. Who can question the supreme court when it commits a legal wrong, except the supreme court itslef? I am glad that the SC has at last realised that they must not interfere with all the policy matters of the Government.
Personally, I find it deplorable that we are unable to give up our colonial past. Why should our parliament continue to function in a building constructed by our colonial masters? These projects should have been commenced soon after the independence. But, Nehru nurtured the view that India is a poor country and cannot waste money on these fanciful buildings. Being an Anglophile, he was loath to disturb the British landmarks. At last, we are shedding the colonial burdens.
As usual your conclusions is to the point and perfect.
Not every executive decision can be up for judicial review. If that is the case, abolish parliament, bureaucracy ministers and let supreme court run the country !!! Wrong decision by elected government should get rectified by electoral process not judicial activism. Every road/flyover/airport/railway line/factory and port is delayed due to court cases in an overloaded judiciary.
Mr Shekhar, please leave UPA era of hanging, diverting, delays in govt functions & get acclimatize with Modi style of governance which is even better than corporate style of work.
Again Mr Shekhar U are misplaced on judicial activism while accusing SC on acting upon BCCI & many past cases...while U are conveniently forgetting those past actions were under UPA & Cong rule where all actions are under suspicion due to corrupt legacy. 2nd U also deliberately one important point didn't mention on duo judgement that, all necessary approvals & clearances are just & complies.
Not trusting the decesion because it's going with speed!
This attitude has cost India dearly...
Same was with the farm laws, even when the discussion has been going on for 17 years!.. Honestly, I find this government more efficient, whether it is bad decisions or good😂. It remains to see till when this can continue🙃
I totally support that GOI needs new & modern offices to run their works efficiently.
I became your fan once more on the explanation of Shashtri Bhawan. .😂 It's my absolute feeling once I saw it first time way back in 1998. . Great summarisation. .. keep on doing the good job. ..
28.00 -- why does SC cannot reject such PILs involving policy matters at admission stage itself?
Probably this bench mark judgement will act as guideline for rejecting such PILs in future
Shekhar You are getting better with every episode my friend 😁😁
As part of central vista plan Govt must take a decision to do away with providing Bunglows to MPs.It is enough if a two bed deluxe room aprtment is provided in a multistoried building to MPs.Modest D type bunglows can be provided to Ministers /Heads of Depts .
One of the most decluttered topics of the day!
Thank you SG!
I just recommended my brother to watch it every day.
"Clutter is not just physical stuff. It's old ideas, toxic relationships, and bad habits. Clutter is anything that does not support your better self" - Eleannor Brownn: Clutter definitely needs cutting! Great idea! Great work! A refreshing programme
Sir please do a cut the clutter for Yogi Adityanath's initiative on allowing Ayurveda practicing doctors to learn general surgery.
All complaints that the oldies are making i.e. Too fast, too complex too grand are actually what most of us feel are the positives of this Modi government.
13:50 sg says something that i am feeling since I was 5 years old in 2001
Every time there is controversy around central vista project.. I come and watch this video... And get amazed.... All things very well explained... Unlike other journalist who inspite of having all the project related information already in public for quite some time... Ignore it and feed their viewers our non-sense politician's blabbering... In first 4 minutes.. SG already said... What's being demolished or what not.. but media and politician keep creating confusion..
That is the way PM Modi works. That should have been the way his predecessors worked.
That's a very polished way of supporting the judgment. Please don't forget Constitution of India preamble speaks about economic justice therefore Courts are well within their boundaries to question the economic discretion of government because the public exchequer is at the end of the day taxpayers money and if this trend is normalized then a majoritarian government and especially in a first past the post system where 31% votebank can jeopardize the interests of remaining 69%. Therefore public criticism of the project is absolutely justified.

As an advocate for once ive to applaud thus episode especially where it adresses the judicial activism which has ruined the governance of this nation for over 2 decades when weak coalitions presided at the helm. Judiciary need to pull its socks and demand more courts n judges n quick appointments across the countey to cut litigation time n poor litigants money
India needs more such thoughtfully designed public spaces which inspire civic pride. Loved the thoughts on the need to rejuvenate Varanasi Kasi Viswanath temple area!
Was eagerly waiting for your ctc.... Timing is very bad.... Sometimes very early, sometimes on time and sometimes too late.... Shekhar Sir 😉😉😉 ... Time!
according to vastu, circular buildings always leads to spiraling confusion. Hope the new building brings in much needed productivity.
Yes.. finally some one said sensible, once function this new bldg will give very good vibrations to make clear decision.
If vastu have been followed then new building should have square plan.
We are used slow working of Congress in our consciousness by each one holding their ego and for some consideration. Cost escalation always happens if there is any delay. We have committee which leaks the information and get some money in the process . Hence it is better to do things in faster mode
Great initiative by BJP . India needs to move ahead with its own identity leaving behind the colonial past. Kudos to the current government.
Ironically you are using a language which deemed as a legacy of britishers.
@@rajeevshankar684 Yes I agree with you, ths is the irony . Lot of us can express ourselves better in English..... a foreign language. Many of my friends and colleagues in the corporate world are left thinkers, they only follow NDTV for their daily news and elitist satisfaction. I have also been part of the same secular system which we today understand as psedu secularism. I have come out of that darkness,,. and truly feel Modi is the best thing to have happened to India.
Salute the two SC judges for P.S note on interferance of courts in Govt functioning.Let it be a guiding factor to AP High Court While dealing with Three Capital petition and on going dharna by ryots of present capital area.
SG sir.
I guess you missed Gandhinagar which is also a planned city.
Yes it's only of a town size but still falls into planned City category
Beautifully analysed. As usual Shekhar ji, impeccable, unprejudiced and always a tad bit entertaining to hear.
Modi wants to be remembered in history with that plaque installed in that coming vista as s Messiah .
Excellent Shekar Ji explained well in simple language
