KCR Behaving Like A Tughlaq!

KCR Behaving Like A Tughlaq!

The decision of Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to shift the state secretariat from the existing location in Saifabad to Bison Polo Grounds in Secunderabad is receiving resistance from the opposition parties as well as environmentalists, who are worried that it would deprive the people of the little lung space in the city.

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President Capt N Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the TRS Government's decision to shift Secretariat and Assembly buildings was not only anti-people, but anti-environment.

"KCR seems to hate open spaces in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. He came up with different proposals to turn several green lung spaces into concrete jungles. The Congress party will never allow this to happen under any circumstances," he said.

Threatening to launch a mass agitation on the issue, Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that KCR was trying to behave like 'Tughlaq' who derived pleasure in causing economic upheaval by shifting his capital from Delhi to Daultabad and then back to Delhi.

He said that the present Secretariat complex has more than sufficient space after Andhra Pradesh Government moved all its employees and infrastructure to its interim Secretariat at Velagapudi near Vijayawada.

Further, he said many blocks in present Secretariat are new constructions. They are not more than 10 years old and are in good condition. Crores of rupees were also spent on renovation of blocks allotted to both the Chief Ministers. Entire money spent on renovation would go waste, he said.

Similarly, he said Assembly building was in good shape. There is no absolutely no need to shift the Assembly from present complex, he said.
