The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee has announced its resolve to stop dismantling of the existing Secretariat complex asserting that the party would explore various available options in this direction.
The Congress alleged that the decision to dismantle the existing complex exposed Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s “dictatorial attitude”. The party was therefore determined to stop wastage of huge amount of public money.
A team of senior Congress leaders led by Congress Legislature Party leader Mallu Bhattivikramarka on Monday visited different blocks in the Secretariat that were tipped to be dismantled paving the way for construction of the new complex. The delegation consisted of Member of Parliament A. Revanth Reddy, MLC T. Jeevan Reddy, MLAs D. Sridhar Babu and D. Seethakka and senior leader V. Hanumanth Rao, among others.
The leaders alleged that the Chief Minister was acting as per his whims and fancies as was evident from his moves to dismantle the existing blocks in the name of Vaastu considerations. They questioned the rationale behind the government’s decision to dismantle the existing structures when they were set to last for several decades. “Moreover, there is adequate space available since the neighbouring AP has handed over the blocks in its possession,” Mr. Vikramarka said.
