Telangana’s New Secretariat Complex To Be Named After Ambedkar

Setting an example for others, the KCR government has decided to name the new integrated State Secretariat complex after the Father of the Indian Constitution, Dr. BR Ambedkar. CM Rao on Thursday took the decision to this effect and directed the officials to take steps accordingly.

The decision evoked a massive positive response, with people from various quarters hailing the TRS government. This, in turn, kept the BJP in a tight corner with the TRS government demanding the Centre name the new Parliament building after Dr. BR Ambedkar.

Accordingly, the State Assembly has already passed a resolution wherein none of the BJP MLAs were present. The studied silence of the BJP on demand has effectively put the party in a Catch-22 situation.

In a release, they CM said it was a matter of pride for the people of Telangana to name the Secretariat after social activist and philosopher Dr Ambedkar. He said it was a model to emulate by the rest of the country.

Rao recalled that the Telangana State became a reality due to the provisions incorporated in Article 3 of the Constitution by Dr Ambedkar.

The construction of the new integrated Secretariat complex has been progressing at a hectic pace. According to official sources, about 90% of the work has already been finished, and the remaining 10% will be completed by Dasara.
