PM Modi, Amit Shah lay foundation stone for new BJP headquarters in New Delhi

The new party office is set to be a hi-tech, eco-friendly building on an 8,000-square-metre plot with 70 per cent green area.

The new headquarters is being built barely 5 km from the party’s present national headquarters, at 11 Ashoka Road in Lutyens’ Delhi, which the BJP leadership feels is now inadequate for a rapidly growing organisation.

The new building is expected to be inaugurated in another two years on Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s birthday — December 25.

While the party had initially prepared a plan to build a new office during Nitin Gadkari’s tenure as the party chief, the leadership had rejected the first two plans.

The third plan, prepared by a Mumbai-based architect and submitted earlier this year, got the go-ahead.

“The building will reflect all parts of the country. While the exterior will have a traditional look, the green building will have all the latest facilities,” BJP general secretary Arun Singh had said discussing the plans earlier.
