Why were the statues removed?
According to media reports, due to the redevelopment of the Parliament complex, the statues of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, among others, have been removed. The Congress has strongly criticized this decision. The statues of tribal leader Birsa Munda and Maharana Pratap have also been shifted to the lawn between the old Parliament House and the Parliament Library. Now all the statues have been moved to one place.

He said that when they did not get cleanliness in Gujarat, they removed the statue of Mahatma Gandhi from its original place in Parliament.
