Hyderabad: The Chief Ministers of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have made several promises before the elections and both are now struggling hard to find a route map to implement them.

Though it is over one month since the two governments have been in place, utter chaos continues to prevail in regard to administration in both the states.
Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N Chandrababu Naidu does not have an office of his own yet and has been functioning from Lake View Guest House. This has led to a piquant situation in the Secretariat. Though the Ministers have been allotted chambers they are not able to work from there as the CMO is about 3 km away.
As a result, most of the time, the ministers and officials are seen in the waiting hall of the guest house as they have to attend to various meetings convened by Naidu. For the common man secretariat has become a maze as it is still not clear who is the secretary heading which department as the division of the officials is yet to be completed.

Incidentally may IAS officers also do not have any rooms allotted to them and even officers of the rank of principal secretaries are forced to share one room in the Secretariat. With great difficulty, the Information department of AP gove-rnment has been allo-tted a room on Wed-nesday in H block of the Secretariat.
So far the information department of both the governments was working from the same building in D block of Secretariat.

The ministers and officials rue that the "The Roads and Buildings Department engineers and staff are from Telangana and we don't have our people here. This explains the delay in the work,"

The Union Department of Personnel and Training is yet to complete the process of cadre allocation of All India Services officers (IAS, IPS
and IFS) while the Kamalnathan Comm-ittee, appointed by the Centre to distribute state government officers and staff, is yet to submit its report.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao who wanted to give top priority to reconstruction of the new state had appointed several advisors. This appears to have led to some friction among the advisors and the officials. It is said that the officials were interfering with the work of the officials and were even demanding that important files be referred to them though the business rules do not permit such a thing.

With the Chief Minister having issued instructions to all his ministers not to make any comment on any issue before the media, only two persons now appear to be explaining the government view point, one is KCR himself and his son and IT minister K T Rama Rao.
