New secretariat development, why it used to be constructed, why KCR didn’t input the outdated one for 8 lengthy years and why it isn’t an emblem of Telangana delight

KCR not too long ago inaugurated Telangana’s new secretariat development. A information deal with of his son KTR, which works through KTR_news (and has just about 6 lakh fans) claimed that no different state constructed a brand new secretariat (among many different such bizarre claims in a thread). The brand new secretariat used to be built no longer as a result of there used to be a dire want for this development, however as a result of KCR couldn’t bodily step into it as it wasn’t vaastu compliant consistent with him. 

In a press convention within the yr 2015, KCR introduced that the prevailing secretariat development has very dangerous vaastu, and that’s why no CM ever had fun there. He used to be relating to the truth that from the yr 1956 (when the state of Andhra Pradesh used to be shaped) until the yr 2004, no Leader Minister of the state ever finished a complete time period (Chandrababu did 9 years however didn’t whole complete phrases). YSR used to be the primary Leader Minister to finish a complete time period (2004 to 2009) however YSR died in a helicopter crash in 2009, early in his 2d time period. Put up his demise, we noticed 2 extra Leader Ministers in the rest 4 years after which the state used to be cut up. 

He used to be alluding to this historical past whilst commenting that the prevailing secretariat development is mainly no longer secure for him to paintings in (regardless that he in truth claimed that this used to be no longer just right for Telangana)! KCR made any other issues concerning the dangerous situation of the prevailing development which we will be able to speak about later on this article. KCR didn’t even wish to paintings from right here, so he began actually operating from house, from 2015 itself! 

At this day and age (2015), KCR claimed that the development value for the brand new Secretariat will likely be ~150 crores, and he’ll demolish the Chest Health facility development within the town. There used to be popular outrage through folks at this choice to demolish the heritage chest health facility development. This outrage compelled KCR to go into reverse from the proposed new development right here. 

After a while, KCR put the onus at the central govt to offer the Bison Polo grounds – grounds that belong to the Ministry of Defence. The Top Minister had given in-principle approval for a similar within the yr 2017. On the other hand, there used to be once more outrage from the electorate; and likewise, the nitty-gritty between the state and the central govt on the real phrases of switch of this land used to be taking too lengthy (despite the fact that the Prime Court docket licensed the development on Bison Polo Grounds). At this day and age (2018), KCR claimed that the development value for the brand new Secretariat will likely be 250 crores. 

Within the yr 2019, the AP govt headed through Jagan Mohan Reddy comes to a decision handy over their proportion of 58% of the prevailing Secretariat development to the Telangana govt. With 100% possession of the prevailing development and the land on which it’s there, KCR now comes to a decision to demolish the prevailing secretariat development and construct a brand new one on this house itself. 

Now take into accout this – in 2015, KCR tells us that the estimated building value for the brand new Secretariat is 150 crores. In a press convention in 2018, KCR higher the similar to 250 crore rupees. As soon as the web site used to be finalised, he allocated a whopping 610 crores for this development within the yr 2021. A minister, on the inauguration of the development in April 2023 tells us that the overall value is also round 800 crores for this development! 

On the press convention in 2015; at a speech in Meeting in 2015; and likewise, in a long speech within the Meeting within the yr 2018, KCR put forth some issues towards the outdated Secretariat development. He defined that because the Secretariat complicated has disjoint constructions and due to this fact it is rather tough for officers to stroll throughout constructions for vital conferences; the more than a few Heads of Departments are scattered around the town and get caught in visitors jams whilst coming to conferences in Secretariat. KCR tells us that even for conferences that he has referred to as, officers needed to move from side to side to get related paperwork. Taking note of all of this, you possibly can suppose that it’s logical to build a brand new development.

On the other hand, no good judgment can provide an explanation for KCR’s refusal to even come to the Secretariat for 9 complete years. He performed conferences from his area, which continues to be farther clear of the prevailing Secretariat constructions. Along with simply the Heads of Departments having to move via visitors, now the ministers, secretaries and somebody else who needed to meet the CM needed to move during the harrowing visitors of Hyderabad to achieve his area. For a complete 8 years. How may KCR feel good about subjecting such a lot of folks via this torment whilst claiming that previous only some had been tormented like this? 

KCR claimed that fireside protection isn’t just right within the outdated development. Voters couldn’t however lend a hand to allude to this anecdote when a significant fireplace broke out within the new secretariat within the ultimate levels of its building! KCR claimed that HoDs don’t take a seat within the secretariat. Bet what – they nonetheless don’t get house within the new Secretariat. They’re going to take a seat in a development that’s somewhat nearer to the secretariat – from when no person is aware of. 

KCR’s fortunate quantity is 6. So, the brand new Secretariat is composed of 6 operational flooring (LG, UG and six flooring); Leader Minister’s place of job is within the sixth ground. KCR signed 6 information in 6 mins on Day 1 within the new secretariat. All of the English media used to be silent in this and a few even wrote sparkling stories. An reputable development of the federal government used to be constructed maintaining in thoughts the fortunate quantity and vaastu ideals of the incumbent Leader Minister, at the very same location the place the older development existed. It took KCR 8 years to construct this. And in these types of 8 years, he didn’t even come to the Secretariat as it used to be no longer vaastu compliant consistent with him. The grandeur of the development is it seems that a promoting level (easiest level taller than Taj Mahal it seems that – like somebody cares!). 

The outrage towards the brand new development turns out utterly justified given the reasoning and making plans that went at the back of this. There’s no want to make this a mark for Telangana delight. It’s merely an expenditure to fulfil the ideals of the incumbent Leader Minister.
