If the BJP is voted to power in Telangana, it will demolish the domes of the new secretariat as it reflects the culture of the Nizams, state party president Bandi Sanjay Kumar said on Friday.
Addressing a street corner meeting of the party at Old Bowenpally in Kukatpally Assembly constituency limits as part of the “Janam Gosa-BJP Bharosa” Programme, Sanjay said the forthcoming BJP government would demolish all structures that are symbols of slavery under the Nizam regime.
“If we are voted to power, we shall destroy the cultural symbols of the Nizam in Telangana, including the domes of the newly-built Secretariat. We shall make suitable changes that reflect the Indian and Telangana culture,” he said, adding that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had converted the peoples’ secretariat into a samadhi like Taj Mahal to appease the Owaisis.
Sanjay also announced that Pragati Bhavan, the official bungalow of the Chief Minister, would be converted into a Praja Darbar.
Reacting to the Chief Minister’s statement that the government would demolish places of worship that block the widening of roads, the BJP president challenged KCR to demolish the mosques that have been built in the middle of the roads in the Old City.
He said that BRS leaders have grabbed poor people’s lands in Kukatpally and when the latter registered protests they were being booked in false cases.
Stating that there was an overwhelming response to the BJP everywhere in the state, Sanjay said the street corner meetings were aimed at explaining to the people the anarchic rule of the BRS and the success stories of the Narendra Modi government.
“The Chief Minister is confined to either his farmhouse or Pragati Bhavan and is least bothered about the people. Till now, the government employees haven’t got their salaries and development has taken a back seat,” he said.
Stating that 60 per cent of the income of the state comes from Hyderabad, the BJP leader demanded that the state government explain how much of it is spent on the development of Hyderabad.
“The KCR government is immersed in neck-deep corruption and it is time the people taught him a lesson,” he added.
