Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday hit out at critics of the ambitious Central Vista project, and asserted that ease of living and ease of doing business was behind the spirit of the work being done under the initiative.
The Prime Minister made the remarks after inaugurating two new multi-storey swanky office complexes at Kasturba Gandhi Marg and Africa Avenue for over 7,000 employees of the Defence Ministry and the armed forces.

The prime ministers said the modern offices will go a long way in effectively carrying out all the work related to the security of the nation by the three forces.
In his address, Modi criticised those who were opposed to the Central Vista project saying they never bothered to find out how the armed forces personnel were working in those hutments.
Central Vista project has come under intense criticism for spending a huge amount of money at a time when the country was battling a raging Covid-19 pandemic.
