Why Did KCR Think Of Secretariat Shifting?

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao's decision to shift Telangana Secretariat from the present location to Erragadda chest hospital premises is learnt to have taken even his Cabinet colleagues by surprise.

The Chief Minister mooted this proposal at the Cabinet meeting and no minister dared to question the same. And finally, it was passed off as the Cabinet decision. Now, everybody started wondering why KCR has taken such a sudden and fancy decision to shift the Secretariat.

According to sources, KCR got the idea when the CMO officials brought to his notice about the permission to be taken from the military authorities for Republic Day celebrations.

KCR was surprised as to why the State government which had vast lands should take permission from the military authorities every year. In fact, he was terribly upset when the military authorities and Archaeological Survey of India had refused permission to him to hoist national flag at Golkonda fort on Independence Day on August 15. After repeated requests from the Telangana government, they had given one-time permission, that too, with a lot of restrictions.

This KCR had felt was nothing short of humiliation. He asked the CMO authorities to look for an alternative ground for Republic and I-Day celebrations. But they could not find a centrally-located place. It was then that KCR had come out with an idea of having parade grounds in place of existing Secretariat and shifting all the government buildings to Erragadda!
