New secretariat looks more like a mosque: BJP

Hyderabad: The Telangana BJP Unit strongly objects to the ever-growing unilateralism of Chief Minister KCR in making crucial decisions in the state, without any consultation with opposition party floor leaders or opposition party’s presidents.

K.Krishna Saagar Rao Chief Spokesperson BJP Telangana State said in his statement that BJP strongly condemns the unilateral confirmation and passing of new secretariat building designs without taking opposition parties into confidence, in the cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister KCR yesterday.

He pointed out that in a parliamentary democracy, it’s a tradition and best practice to involve principle opposition parties while making key decisions that have a far-reaching impact on a state. It allows the opposition parties to put the forward voice of the people and extend advice to the government.

“BJP believes, the new secretariat building design resembles Nizam era architecture, it looks more like a mosque than a state government administrative building”. He added

Krishan Sagar Rao says that BJP wonders why CM KCR wants to regress 500 years backward to build a foreign ruler inspired architecture for a modern secretariat building!

KCR is indulging in building his political legacy & Muslim appeasement, when he builds this completely unwarranted secretariat building, spending over 400 crores of public exchequer while demolishing an existing functional secretariat building.

Modern state government administrative buildings are built keeping in view of functional requirements. Telangana State Secretariat building must reflect the current generation, contemporary Indian architecture, and aspirations of a free Telangana State in the Indian union, then representing an enslaved era of a foreign oppressor Nizam of Hyderabad.

BJP rejects the new secretariat building design and demands CM KCR, to convene an immediate all-party meeting to discuss alternate designs.

It may be recalled that the saffron party state unit has earlier also opposed several government decisions on various juncture.
