Here Is Proof: Secretariat Fence Came During President’s Rule!

AP CM Chandrababu Naidus’ penchant for propaganda against Telangana Govt. miserably failed when he tried raking up a controversy about the fence that has been put up between the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh sections within Secretariat in Hyderabad. Naidu said in a press meet that Telangana Govt. shouldn’t have put up a fence between the two sections as if both are 2 different countries and cleverly tried to project the fence as a symbol of Telangana’s narrowmindedness while he himself is behaving like a statesman!  Telangana Government immediately shot back, with Minister Harish Rao clearly stating the fence is not Telangana Government’s idea but one from the Governor’s machinery during the President’s rule. Surprisingly though, the Governor’s office released a statement saying they didn’t issue any orders directly to put up a fence and differed with Harish Rao’s version.

Before we wonder if this is a case of one man’s word against another’s, we can breathe easily and look at this GO issued during President’s rule, more than a week before Telangana even became a State. GO 426 clearly states a fence need to be built and also released funds amounting to Rs 15 lakh for it. The same GO issues Rs 1.5 Cr to upgrade the H Block for AP CM and AP CS. So the Governor’s office is clearly wrong about their press release. This makes us wonder if the Governor does not know about decisions made during President’s rule and if the Andhra-dominated bureaucracy called the shots and made decisions on their own!

Whatever be the reason, the propaganda of media and political parties against Telangana government has backfired big time, once again.
