According to BRS president and
chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, who inaugurated the new state-of-the-art
secretariat building, it will serve as a testament to and symbolise Telangana's rebuilding, pride, and self-esteem. He called his political rivals "lilliputs" who couldn't comprehend the meaning of rebuilding or digest Telangana's development over the last nine years.
After a grand ceremony on
sunday to inaugurate the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar
telangana State
secretariat, Rao addressed the officials and
secretariat staff and lashed out at his political critics for his comments about "rebuilding Telangana" after he took
office as the
cm following the creation of
telangana state in 2014.
Rao recalled how, in the days after the
telangana state was created, some individuals attempted to downplay each action he had taken to advance the state. He claimed that there were some "political dwarfs" who maintained that "I was ruining
telangana, not acknowledging that it was just the beginning of the process of rebuilding."
When he started building the new
secretariat, which would be a magnificent tribute to
telangana pride, the
cm claimed that the "political dwarfs" became jealous. He pleaded with them not to be jealous of Telangana's progress and development.
"Some dwarfs made fun of me when I talked about reconstructing
telangana in 2014. They questioned my definition of "rebuilding." They questioned whether destroying
telangana and rebuilding it was the intended outcome. Some individuals questioned whether rebuilding entailed razing old buildings and erecting new ones in their place. They objected to the construction of the new Secretariat. They criticised the fact that rebuilding
telangana following the division of
ap does not include tearing down old buildings and erecting new ones in their place, Rao recalled as he described the welfare schemes and development initiatives carried out by the
trs (now BRS)
government during the previous nine years.
