“Shouldn’t this be a matter of pride that a new state secretariat is being built in the state, which is even bigger than the Taj Mahal? It will help in bringing better governance. Why are you (BJP) talking about destroying it? Why can’t you ever talk about uniting? What will you achieve by this?” he said.
