Congress leader files plea over demolition of Telangana secretariat

Congress leader Jeevan Reddy filed a petition in the High Court against the demolition of the secretariat in Telangana. He asked the court not to pass orders pertaining to the secretariat demolition.

In 2016, Jeevan Reddy filed a plea in the court not to demolish the secretariat when the government proposed to build a new building in Erragadda. Reddy alleged that demolition of the secretariat for vastu alone will not make any sense. However, the then government Advocate General Ramakrishna Reddy gave a report that the present secretariat will not be demolished.

Recalling the assurance made by the advocate general, the petitioner's counsel Satyam Reddy said that the government has changed its mind. The case is adjourned to June 28.
