The canopy, which was built along with the rest of the grand monument in the 1930s by Sir Edwin Lutyens, once housed a statue of the former king of England George V. The statue was later moved to Coronation Park in Central Delhi in the year 1968

Earlier, Chandra Bose, who is also a BJP leader, wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Modi seeking the installation of Netaji's statue in front of India Gate in Delhi. He also asked the PM to print Netaji's image on currency notes and declare January 23 as a national holiday.
