Hyderabad: Telangana Congress leaders today met Governor E S L Narasimhan and submitted him a memorandum opposing the TRS government’s move to construct a new Secretariat demolishing the existing buildings.
“We have conveyed our opposition to the Governor about the construction of a new Secretariat by demolishing the present buildings. We urged him to tell the government that it is not a correct decision to demolish the building and construct a new one. We also told him that it will be a waste of Rs 350 crore (for construction of new building),” Telangana Congress president N Uttam Kumar Reddy told reporters after a meeting with the Governor.
The TRS government is planning to build a new Secretariat, reportedly after demolishing the existing buildings.
The state Congress president had earlier written a letter to the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao conveying his party’s opposition to the construction of new Secretariat after bringing down the existing structures.
