Aurangzeb Zindabad Mindset: BJP Slams Opposition For Criticising Lutyens’ Bust Removal | Plain S[eak

A political row has erupted after the bust of British architect Edwin Lutyens at Rashtrapati Bhavan was replaced with that of Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, in an attempt to shed the country’s colonial past. President Droupadi Murmu unveiled Rajagopalachari’s bust at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre during the Rajaji Utsav . The new bust has been placed at the Grand Open Staircase near Ashok Mandap, the spot previously occupied by Lutyens, the chief architect of New Delhi and the namesake of Lutyens’ Delhi. Differing from other INDIA Bloc MPs, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor praised the government’s move to unveil a bust of Chakravarti Rajagopalachari at Rashtrapati Bhavan. In a post on X, the Thiruvananthapuram MP said he was a “strong supporter" of Rajagopalachari’s Swatantra Party during his student days. #shashitharoor #edwinlutyens #congress #news18 n18oc_plain-speak
