After secretariat was decided to be vacated by Andhra Pradesh government and all the employees are instructed to step into Amaravati, Telangana Chief Minister KCR felt that, he would utilize the vacated buildings for several other purposes.
But toppling the dreams of KCR, his rival Chandrababu Naidu jolted him, deciding to retain the offices under AP government, as Hyderabad would continue to remain the common capital of both the Telugu states, till 2024.
Speaking about this, Cherukuri Kutumba Rao, Vice Chairman of Andhra Pradesh State Planning Board, said, “Andhra Pradesh government will shift most of its staff from Hyderabad to Amaravati region shortly.
However, we will not hand over these office premises in Hyderabad to the Telangana government till 2024. We will continue to have these office premises under our possession, where skeletal staff will be stationed.”
