Will demolish dome of Telangana secretariat that reflects culture of Nizams if come to power; BJP state chief

Hyderabad, February 10: Taking a dig at the KCR-led Telangana Government, the Bharatiya Janata Party president Bandi Sanjay Kumar, on Friday said that if BJP comes to power in Telangana, it will demolish the domes of the news-built state secretariat that reflect the culture of Nizams.

Addressing a street corner meeting of the party at Old Boinpally under Kukatpally assembly constituency limits as part of the "Janam Gosa-BJP Bharosa" programme, Sanjay said the forthcoming BJP government would wipe out all kinds of structures that are symbols of slavery of the Nizam regime. He added that BJP will make suitable changes that reflect the Indian and Telangana cultures.

 

"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 KCR had converted the peoples' secretariat into a samadhi like the Taj Mahal only to appease the Owaisis.

 

 

 

Sanjay also announced that Pragati Bhavan, the official bungalow of the chief minister, would also be changed into a Praja Darbar.

 

Meanwhile reacting to the chief minister's statement that the government would demolish places of worship that cause hurdles for the expansion of roads, the BJP president challenged KCR to demolish, if he could, the mosques that were built in the middle of the roads in the old city of Hyderabad.
