Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday interacted with workers involved in the construction of the new Parliament building. The workers are making a very big contribution to the nation’s pride, PM Modi said, adding that they should feel proud of their work.

The prime minister also told the workers they are involved in the process of not just the construction of the building but creating history.

When PM Modi asked them if they feel that they are making a building or history, the workers replied in a chorus, “History”.

When a worker expressed joy at his visit to the site and likened it to Lord Ram’s arrival at Shabri’s hut, a reference to epic Ramayana, PM Modi said light-heartedly, “Wah, wah, this is your hut!” He then added that every poor person of the country should also feel that this is his hut.
