Controversy

They have installed a statue of Mahatma Gandhi there. Who constructed it and who has been installed there ... We have built all significant structures in India, What have you done? We constructed Red Fort, Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar, Mecca Masjid and Charminar. What have you constructed in Hindustan?"[4]
