“As President of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Party, I wish to convey that your government decision to demolish the present Secretariat complex and construct a new complex at a huge cost of hundreds of crores of rupees is not a judicious decision and is a mere waste of hundreds of crores of precious tax payers money,” Reddy had said in a letter to KCR last week.
Several blocks in the present Secretariat have been constructed in recent times, he had said.
He had found fault with the state government allegedly citing ‘vaastu’ defects as the reason for allegedly deciding to demolish the buildings.
Reddy said it is astonishing that the Advocate General has submitted to the High Court that the present Secretariat complex doesn’t meet fire safety regulation.
How come Rao and the Chief Ministers in undivided Andhra Pradesh had functioned from the same Secretariat if the buildings did not meet fire safety standards, he asked.
